Custom racing yachts, performance cruisers and structural composites — engineered to America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race standards by an employee-owned team with 40 years at the craft.
Two purpose-built facilities on England's south coast — a waterfront build yard at Hythe and a composite panel factory at Lymington — where racing pedigree meets aerospace-grade engineering.
Full pre-preg carbon hulls built for the world's most demanding race courses — from TP52s and IRC grand-prix boats to the Volvo Ocean Race fleet. Light, stiff, and engineered to win.
Fast, refined cruising yachts that carry their pedigree below the waterline. We protect the weight saved in carbon by engineering the interior with the same discipline as the hull.
Hulls, decks, superstructures and bespoke structural parts for other builders and refits — including fire-rated superstructures and complex one-off mouldings to aerospace tolerances.
A dedicated facility for CNC-laminated flat and curved panels — core cutting, carbon reinforcement inserts and laser-projected assembly — bringing repeatable, production-grade composites to scale.
"The weight saved by building in carbon is too often given away by a less-than-lightweight interior. We engineer the whole boat to the same standard."
The team behind Fibre Mechanics has shaped composite yacht building since the early 1980s: IOR maxis, Whitbread racers, America's Cup campaigns for Prada and Mascalzone, and IMOCA boats for Hugo Boss, Macif and Banque Populaire.
Founded in 2016 by the people who built those boats, Fibre Mechanics is employee-owned — a 68-strong workforce across Project, Production, Engineering and Design, split between our Hythe build yard and Lymington panel factory. Ownership is how we keep the standard exactly where it should be.

Increased capacity and a dedicated panel factory bring more capability in-house.
Whether it's a grand-prix campaign, a performance cruiser or a structural commission — talk to the team that's been doing this for 40 years.
Our waterfront construction yard on Southampton Water, with direct access to the Central Solent. A 38 × 55 m clear-span build hall and a hull oven for yachts up to 50 m — purpose-built to launch big carbon hulls straight into the water.
The original home of Fibre Mechanics and our dedicated composite panel factory — CNC lamination, core cutting, carbon reinforcement and laser-projected assembly, 12 miles west along the coast.
