OCEA Commuter 108 New : closer to the water

The shipyard now has four production sites. Of course, there is the original site in Les Sables-d’Olonne, with its 8,000 m² workshop that was recently completely renovated. This modern yard, capable of accommodating vessels up to 90 meters in length, is entirely dedicated to outfitting, as are the sites in La Rochelle and Saint-Nazaire. In addition to these “maritime” locations on the Atlantic coast, the Ocea shipyard also has a workshop located in Fontenay-le-Comte, a little further inland. This site, dedicated to aluminium and metalwork, is where the hull of the Commuter 108 New was produced.

For the Commuter 108 New, as for all other OCEA yachts, many of the elements were assembled in the Fontenay-le-Comte workshop, including the frames, partitions and longitudinals and the hull plating. The yacht was then turned over and transported to OCEA's outfitting workshop by road as an oversized load. These two operations were carried out respectively at the end of April and in mid-May for this new yacht. The outfitting operations got under way immediately, with the assembly of the bulwarks, cutting of the door and window openings and installation of the lugs for the mooring components. In order to facilitate the work, the superstructure is being prepared on the ground before being installed on the hull later this summer.
