An Innovative Solution for High-Precision Restoration and Surface Treatment

Laser Cleaning for Yachts & Sailboats: The Revolution in Naval Maintenance

In the luxury yachting sector, preserving materials is an absolute priority. LNB Yachting offers a cutting-edge laser cleaning (or laser stripping) service. This disruptive technology allows for the restoration of deck equipment, mechanical parts, and metallic structures with unparalleled precision, all while respecting the marine environment.

What is Laser Cleaning for Yachts?

Laser cleaning is based on the principle of laser ablation. High-power light pulses are directed at the surface to be treated. The energy is absorbed by contaminants—such as rust, oxidation, paint, salt, and grease—which are instantly vaporized. Crucially, the base material (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber) remains unheated and unaltered.

Our Fields of Intervention Onboard

1. Corrosion Treatment & Rust Removal

Stainless steel and alloys are pushed to their limits at sea. Our laser technology allows for complete rust removal on:

• Toe rails and suspension tracks.

• Deck eyes, pad eyes, and chainplates.

• Stanchions, pulpits, and various deck hardware.

• Support structures for cranes and passerelles.

2. Restoration of Precision Deck Hardware

On a sailboat or motor yacht, some parts are too fragile for traditional sandblasting. The laser safely cleans:

• Winch mechanisms and blocks.

• Mastheads and standing rigging systems.

• Navigation electronics components or antenna mounts.

3. Mechanical & Engine Maintenance

Laser cleaning is ideal for degreasing and decoking engine parts without chemical solvents, facilitating technical inspections and preventive maintenance.

Why Choose LNB Yachting Laser Cleaning?

Non-Abrasive & Non-Destructive Technology

Unlike sandblasting or sanding, the laser creates no mechanical wear. It preserves the tolerances of precision parts and does not dull the mirror-polished finish of your stainless steel. It is the premier choice for prestige yacht maintenance.

An Eco-Friendly & Clean Solution (Green Yachting)

Laser cleaning is part of a sustainable development approach:

• Zero Chemicals: No solvents or acid strippers are used.

• Zero Secondary Waste: No sand or dust to clean up in the cockpit or bilges.

• Total Safety: No toxic volatile residues for the crew or the environment.

Unique Digital Tracking via our Management Tool

Every laser intervention is documented and stored in our secure database. By choosing LNB Yachting, you benefit from 2-year traceability:

• Detailed intervention reports (before/after photos).

• "En régie" (Time & Materials) tracking for total budgetary transparency.

• A technical history essential for the yacht’s Resale Value.

Technical Specifications

• Treated Substrates: Steel, Stainless Steel (316L), Aluminum, Composite, Bronze.

• Removed Contaminants: Oxidation, limescale, calamine, paint, organic coatings.

• Mobility: Onboard intervention, at the dock, or in the shipyard.

• Certification: Operators trained to Class 4 laser safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Yacht Laser Cleaning

Can the laser damage carbon fiber? Thanks to our evolving digital forms and precise settings, we adapt the beam power according to the substrate to guarantee total safety, even on composite materials.

How long does an "en régie" intervention take? Laser cleaning is often faster than traditional methods because it requires no heavy masking or cleanup of abrasive residues.
