COBRA INTERNATIONAL

COBRA currently supply painted hulls with a moulded EVA foam deck pad that provides a non-slip and comfortable deck for the sailor. This deck pad, as well as textile covers for the boat's wings and custom-made protective bags for the Skeeta's aluminium and composite hydrofoils, is produced by COBRA's in-house accessories division and then shipped to Australia for final assembly and set-up of the finished boats. Skeeta Foiling Craft have recently launched the smaller 2.9m Nikki dinghy with hulls also built at COBRA. So far around 100 boats have been manufactured with production lines being configured for up to 50 hulls per month. As production rates build, COBRA and Skeeta Foiling Craft are also discussing ways to develop a one-stop-shop supply option with sails, metal components and plastic parts being manufactured or sourced by COBRA so finished boats could be shipped directly. Quick to foil in light winds, safe, easy to launch and above all, quick to rig up and get on the water, COBRA's strong, light and beautiful composite construction allows Skeeta Foiling Craft to really open up the world of foiling to everyone. "Jim and I first worked together in the mid 80's developing windsurf race board designs in Australia. It is great to be collaborating again, combining the French's decades of expertise with the unique craftsmanship and volume manufacturing capabilities at COBRA.
