Diverse Yachts and C-Designs merge into Diverse Performance Systems Diverse Yachts is a leading supplier of custom marine electronics, technical hardware, and load cells, while C-Designs is known for its expertise around the design, manufacture and integration of yacht hydraulics, electrics, and mechanical and electronic control systems. The two specialist companies have been working closely together for several years at the cutting edge of yacht racing technology. They have a shared history of delivering innovative, free-thinking solutions to their collective client base which includes America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and IMOCA 60 teams, as well as many other grand prix racing, superyacht and high-performance cruising projects. Now the natural progression of this collaborative joint approach is to join together as a single company under the new name: Diverse Performance Systems – a move which brings benefits of scale and will enable more intensive utilisation of R&D, manufacturing, as well as administration and management. The merger means clients will be able to take advantage of a one stop shop for the design, installation and optimisation of all on-board systems. The two companies have worked closely in the past but can now provide clients with a single point of contact for sales, design, project management and ongoing support. The combined staff’s broad range of technical expertise will be backed up with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility utilising the latest in CAD CAM software guaranteeing excellent quality control and efficient lead times. Diverse Performance Systems can now provide owners and builders with fully-integrated systems packages which combine all the yacht’s control, monitoring and sailing instruments into efficient centralised systems.
