They have interior dimensions of 64m length, 22m width, and a height of 21.5m. This gives the capability to host +50m motor yachts without removing the mast. The sheds are equipped with separate state-of-the-art extraction systems for dust and solvents to guarantee an optimum environment for our client’s yacht.
