“Inside the Factory” is a 4-part behind-the-scenes series revealing the engineering, craftsmanship, and innovation behind every Aquila catamaran. Episode 1 is live.
EPISODE I
It starts at Sino Eagle Shipyard, the 27-acre facility in Hangzhou, China where every Aquila is built. Global Brand Director Alain Raas walks you through Aquila’s history, design philosophy, and into the R&D center where every new model is conceived, tested, and pushed to its limits, so the only surprises our owners find are the good ones.
EPISODE II
In this episode, Global Brand Director Alain Raas enters Building 5 at Sino Eagle Shipyard, where the stainless steel fabrication, joinery and upholstery of each Aquila is built in-house.
We also take a look at the parts operation that manages 10,000 components across four warehouses and what it takes to keep a global production line moving.
EPISODIE III
In Episode 3, Global Brand Director Alain Raas walks us through Aquila’s vinylester resin infusion process, the single-shot hull and deck construction that sets Aquila apart, and the strength and weight advantages it delivers on the water.
EPISODE IV
In Episode 4, Global Brand Director Alain Raas walks us through Aquila’s assembly line at Sino Eagle Shipyard, where stringers, bulkheads, MEP systems, and finished interiors all come together into a completed catamaran ready to ship.
