Based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, Magma Structures is a world-leading player in the design and manufacturing of large-scale composite structures. Specializing in pre-preg carbon fiber and advanced materials, the shipyard stands out for its ability to produce complex structural components subjected to extreme loads. Its philosophy is based on a global engineering approach, where every gram of material is optimized to ensure maximum rigidity and increased durability, whether for offshore racing, superyachts, or defense sectors.
System intelligence: an integrated architecture
From managing energy balance to installing resilient data buses, system reliability is the foundation of every project. Embedding load sensors and telemetry solutions directly within the composite allows real-time monitoring of the vessel’s structural health. This synergy between carbon structure and its electronic "nervous system" is essential to validate nautical performance and ensure the safety of next-generation units.
Notable projects and iconic models
Magma Structures’ expertise is demonstrated through projects that push the boundaries of maritime innovation:
Sailing Yacht A: Manufacturing the world’s three tallest self-supporting carbon masts (over 90 meters in height).
IMOCA Newrest - Art & Fenêtres (formerly No Way Back): Initial construction of this reference platform, renowned for its robustness during successive foil campaigns.
Dynarig masts: Development and production of automated rigging systems for large exploration yachts.
Industrial components: Production of critical structures for energy and subsea sectors.
