The M/V Lightning was originally built by Maxweld Boats as a research vessel and was recently refurbished by Bay Weld Boats. Salty Cushions was brought on to create a wrap-around settee, cushions for below-deck bunks, and fabric panels – all custom-built.
Because we knew this boat needed high-quality fabric that could withstand years of use, Serge Ferrari Stamskin One was selected for its durability and stain resistance, and its rich color perfectly complemented the exterior paint and design elements.
Following the completion of the full overhaul of the M/V Lightning, this 44′ Catamaran was leased for thousands of dollars to a European millionaire as a tender to their megayacht for the duration of their stay in Southeast Alaska. This large-scale project involved several partners – Bay Weld, Salty Cushions – coming together to deliver an amazing final product.
