The Challenge

Marine Data Systems engaged PE Composites to manufacture the composite part of their Pelorus stand for their bearing repeater compass.

Our Solution

The stand is designed to be a rugged glass reinforced plastic (GRP) composite construction which is produced in a gel coat finish, the colour of which can be adjusted to suit customer requirements. The component is manufactured in two halves and subsequently joined together. The thickness of the laminate is varied to suit the various loading requirements in different parts of the stand.

The Outcome

PE Composites are engaged on a small series run of these components to meet the market demand for this system.
