Objective

Performance boat with bio-based flax NCF for sustainable boat building

The idea

idb marine developed the Mojito 650, an environmentally friendly boat design for the mini class, which is manufactured using flax fabric. For the French shipyard, it was clear that the implementation of the Mojito 650 could complete the Mojito concept in the small cruise ship segment. The Mojito 650 offers sailors the performance and strengths of the well-known Mojito concept with its panoramic roof and lifting keel. This new boat is an intelligent addition to the Mojito family and promotes a resource-saving approach combined with excellent performance.

How SAERTEX^® reinforced this idea

In a further step towards sustainable production, SAERTEX and its French partner Terre de Lin have launched a technical collaboration to produce fabrics made from flax fibers for the industrial sector. The partnership combines SAERTEX's expertise in reinforcement materials with the large capacity of one of the largest suppliers of sustainable flax fibers, Terre de Lin. These flax fabrics form the basis for the Mojito 650 and enable the most sustainable production possible. Bio-based fibers help reduce overall energy consumption, are renewable, and have minimal impact on the environment. These properties are in line with SAERTEX's vision of “Innovation for a resource-saving future,“ which aims to make a significant contribution to minimizing global resource consumption.
