Catamaran Hull Repairs Under Pressure

Recently, our team was engaged to shrink wrap a catamaran in Sydney to facilitate critical hull repairs. This project came with very strict time constraints, leaving little room for delays. To add to the challenge, the weather conditions were far from ideal, with high winds making the shrink wrap installation extremely difficult. Wind is one of the biggest challenges in shrink wrapping, as it directly affects handling, tensioning, and heat application of the material.

Shrink Wrap Challenges and Solutions

The shape of the catamaran hull itself added another layer of complexity. Unlike flat or uniform structures, the twin hulls and curved contours required careful planning and additional time during the framing stage. Following the natural lines of the vessel was essential to ensure the shrink wrap performed correctly, particularly in windy conditions.

Catamaran Shrink Wrap Project Results

Despite these conditions, the pressure to meet the client’s deadline meant the team had to keep moving and adapt on the fly. While the final result wasn’t as aesthetically perfect as many of our other shrink wrap projects, the most important outcome was achieved: the structure was completed on time and was more than fit for its intended purpose. It provided a secure, protective enclosure that allowed hull repairs to proceed safely and efficiently.
