BCA-Demco implementation until 2017
BCA-Demco's planning activity began in the company's early years but developed gradually. In an initial phase it was limited to small boats whose plans in our catalog were placed alongside the many plans of foreign designers that we then represented in Italy. Over the years, our plans have come to prevail, both in number and in terms of sales, compared to those of foreign designers and therefore they now represent almost all of the plans we offer. Design on behalf of private individuals and shipyards came as a development of self-build design and often derived from relationships of trust established with customers who had built boats from our catalog and appreciated the quality of our service.
As regards materials, BCA-Demco has a particular specialization in wooden construction, knowing ed
having directly experimented with all the most modern techniques connected to the use of this material which remains, in our opinion, among the most suitable for the creation of high quality one-off hulls.However, he has also gained good experience with glass fibers and composite materials, having directly followed the
construction of racing boats in these materials.As regards the type of boats, our interest is concentrated on sailing, with a very wide range of
experiences and projects carried out, ranging from racing to cruising, from monohulls to multihulls, from dinghies to medium-large yachts.
We are less present in motor boating but even in this field we can boast many achievements in the field of small and medium-sized motor boats.Finally, we would like to point out that since the beginning of its activity, BCA-Demco has followed with particular attention and depth,
both from a technical and cultural point of view, the sector of vintage boats and traditional boats. -
