A Note on Safety and Professional Responsibility

Our content documents marine projects involving structural engineering, composite fabrication, and complex boat systems. This work is carried out by trained marine professionals on our own vessel, Paikea, in our specific context. What we do may not be appropriate, safe, or structurally sound for your vessel.

Nothing on this site constitutes professional engineering advice or step-by-step instruction intended for replication. If you are considering similar work on your own boat, get qualified professional advice before you start. Serious structural and systems work on a vessel carries real risk of injury, death, and loss of the boat. We document what we do — we are not telling you to do the same.

By using this site you accept that Shayne, Anna, Youngbarnacles, and SYAS Performance accept no liability for any loss, damage, injury, or vessel loss arising from your use or misapplication of anything we publish.

We do our best to keep the site running but accept no liability for temporary unavailability due to technical issues outside our control.
