Originally through necessity we designed cylinders for AC racing yachts for the 2000 America's Cup and had them made in NZL when the companies of that time were overloaded and unable to supply components as we were developing our race yachts on a tight schedule. So successful was this, that since that time we design and supply all manner of custom-made hydraulic cylinders. Typically including vangs, halyard tensioners, backstays, transom doors, hydrofoil rake/cant/lift, canting keel cylinders. We can assist with service, repair, rebuild of cylinders worldwide through various clients and suppliers.
