Gommans Zeilen: Perfect Fit and Craftsmanship
- Details
For many years, Gommans Zeilen has been a trusted partner of Linssen Yachts. This family business, specialising in the production of cabrio hoods, bimini tops and the exclusive Variotop® system, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. A milestone that not only underlines the company’s years of experience and expertise, but also highlights the successful partnership with Linssen Yachts. In this article, we take you through the process behind the production of these essential accessories and show how Linssen Yachts benefits from an innovative approach thanks to digitisation and series production.
The expertise of Gommans Zeilen
Based in the Netherlands, Gommans Zeilen has developed over the years into a leading company in the field of nautical canvas. The company provides customised solutions for various yacht builders and private individuals, with craftsmanship and innovation at its core. Their working methods are characterised by precision, high-quality materials and in-depth knowledge of marine construction.
When manufacturing covers and bimini tops, Gommans Zeilen pays a great deal of attention to durability and functionality. Materials are carefully selected based on weather resilience, UV protection and wear resistance, ensuring that the end products are not only aesthetically appealing but also offer years of protection and comfort on board.
Efficiency through digitisation
One of the major advantages of the cooperation between Linssen Yachts and Gommans Zeilen is the efficient working method created by series production at Linssen. Yacht hoods and bimini tops are normally measured individually and made to measure, which can be a labour-intensive process. At Linssen Yachts, however, accurate measurements are taken only once for each type of yacht. This data is then digitally processed and stored, ensuring a fully optimised hood production process.
Thanks to this digitisation, hoods and Variotop® fabrics can be ordered on demand, with each hood perfectly matching the respective building number. This saves time and minimises the risk of errors, while keeping the production process smooth and consistent. For Linssen owners, this means a guaranteed fit and fast delivery of their hood or bimini, with no extra measurements or adjustments required.
The importance of a perfect hood
A well-designed and perfectly fitting hood is an essential part of on-board comfort. Not only does a hood offer protection from the elements, but it also adds to the look and functionality of the yacht. Gommans Zeilen bimini tops and hoods are designed with an eye for detail and integrate seamlessly with the luxurious appearance of a Linssen yacht.
In addition, the Variotop® system is a unique concept exclusive to Linssen Yachts. This innovative convertible system allows you to create a completely open helmsman’s position or provide shelter in less favourable weather conditions with a single hand movement. The perfect finish and fit of the outer fabric, insulation fabric and inner canopy ensure the system functions smoothly and forms a seamless transition with the rest of the yacht.
Innovation and forward-looking cooperation
The collaboration between Linssen Yachts and Gommans Zeilen is based on mutual trust and a shared passion for quality and innovation. By using modern technologies, such as digital measurements and automated production processes, a high level of efficiency is achieved without compromising on craftsmanship.
Conclusion
Thanks to its collaboration with Gommans Zeilen, Linssen Yachts can equip its yachts with perfectly fitting hoods and Variotop® canopies without compromising on quality or efficiency. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology makes it possible to consistently deliver high-quality products that contribute to the comfort and appearance of every Linssen yacht.
With a solid foundation in digitisation and series production, Linssen Yachts continues to innovate and set the standard in the world of luxury motor yachts together with Gommans Zeilen. The future looks promising, and the joint commitment to perfection will undoubtedly continue to contribute to unforgettable boating experiences for Linssen owners worldwide.
