Premier Composite Technologies
Premier Composite Technologies, although newly established in the U.A.E. have an impressive history in
advanced composite technology. The key figures behind the company have substantial knowledge and
understanding of this high-tech composite industry. Their unparalleled expertise is the result of the experiences
they gained since the eighties in the aerospace and aircraft industry, the automotive industry and the
environmental industry, with a major focus on the use of composites in architecture and building construction,
and in the production of offshore power boats and racing yachts.
PCT’s strong roots in the composite industry stemmed from the German company
Speedwave
, whose
co-founders are now the major force behind PCT.
Speedwave
was famed for the composite construction of
specialised components like rudders, keels, spreaders and steering systems for Whitbread/Volvo Around the
World, America’s Cup, Admiral’s Cup and Maxi yachts.
Speedwave
also embarked on high-tech yachting
projects of the time, with ILC 40 “
Anemos
” being one of its successes. Using composite technology,
Speedwave
together with
SL-Rasch
GmbH, completed various innovative dome projects.
Having left their mark in Europe, the team then set the benchmark in composite construction and yacht
manufacturing in South East Asia. In 1997
Dian Kreatif
was established in Malaysia. Using
Speedwave
technology and technicians, several major dome construction projects were undertaken, together with the
production of racing yachts. Apart from custom builds, DK became one of three licensed builders worldwide for
Farr International, building the
Mumm 30
,
Farr 40
,
Farr 52
,
Farr 36
and
Farr 520
cruiser-racer.
With their well-deserved reputation in advanced composite technology, the team now spearhead
Premier Composite Technologies in Dubai with a strong commitment to continue their excellence in the
composites manufacturing industry.

The idea behind the Landmark Yachts concept is to hit the fine balance between racing and
performance cruising without compromising in either area, while keeping the quality up or the cost down.
Focused on meeting the requirements of leading measurement rules, dual purpose capabilities and easy
handling, Landmark Yachts strives to be associated with elegance and quality.
Mills Design
Mills Design Ltd. is a firm set up by Mark Mills to specialise in performance yacht design. Based in
Ireland but also active on the West Coast of the U.S., we specialise in medium/light displacement designs for
racing and cruising. In producing a new yacht, the central philosophy of Mills Design is that of developing and
maintaining a focal design concept, the nature and integrity of which will determine the character of the finished
product. In attempting to hold to a clear design concept we have found that with careful analysis complex
requirements are often best satisfied with simple discrete solutions, simplicity being a key to success in
competitive sailing
