Weather-resistant bearing and energy supply for ship and boat building

Shipbuilding

Seawater-resistant products for machinery in shipyards, on deep-sea cranes and workboats

Sailboats

Storage technology for roller reefing, self-tacking jib, boom vang and more

Yachts

Storage technology for anchor boxes and winches, step extension, sunroof and more

Motorboats

Bearing technology for trim tab, steering system, seat adjusters and more

Electric windows in yachts

For electric windows for boats in the premium segment, Glaskeil relies on drylin® drive technology. It fulfils the high requirements for compact dimensions, quiet operation and resistance to aggressive salt water and high temperature fluctuations.

Backlash-free double rudder

In the steering system of the Seascape 24 sailing boat, igubal® rod ends are used in the connections between the tiller, drive shaft and rudder blades. The fact that they are robust, extremely low friction, clearance and corrosion-free makes them the perfect component for this application.
