Quick Group unveils new products for the superyacht market: the innovative Airlock Pantograph Door and Riviera anchoring system.

September 12, 2024

Quick Group - one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of marine equipment for the yacht and superyacht sectors – is proud to unveil two groundbreaking products at this year’s autumn boat shows, starting with the Cannes Yachting Festival (September 10-15, 2024).
These launches mark the culmination of a significant product development process following Quick Group's strategic acquisitions of Nemo and Sanguineti in 2023, further reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and excellence in the superyacht industry.
The two key products being launched include the automatic Airlock pantograph door with inflatable airlock under the Nemo brand and the all-new Riviera series of capstans and windlasses under the Sanguineti brand - both engineered to meet the exacting demands of superyacht builders and owners.
 
Nemo Airlock Pantograph Door
Quick Group’s latest addition to the Nemo range of pantograph doors is a cutting-edge solution that combines advanced technology, attractive design, and superior functionality, marking a first for the yacht sector. Designed for side-access openings, the new pantograph door uses a simple push-button control panel for easy opening and closing, with the addition of an automatic inflatable airlock seal to ensure watertightness. It is powered by a 24V DC supply.
The door design is fully customizable, meaning not only can it be tailored to the specific size and shape requirements of the yacht, but can also be finished to match the boat in color and trim – and even in the color of the seal itself.
The door is designed to withstand the most challenging conditions, ensuring the seal – which is maintained at a constant pressure – is never compromised and safety on board is always assured. An emergency handle can be specified to ensure manual operation with the door’s design enabling it to be opened or closed by all members of the crew, and the seal can also be inflated manually in case of power failure. Using an airlock door confers other benefits too, reducing the need for maintenance on supports or levers as a perfect seal is always guaranteed, and mitigating heat or cooling transfer thus increasing the boat’s energy efficiency.
“This complements the range of manual and semi-automatic pantograph doors already available in the Nemo range, but this is the first time we have made a fully automatic pantograph door with inflatable seal,” says Lorenzo Cesari, Quick Group Head of Sales for Superyacht Division. “In fact, although some heavy-duty applications for things like stern doors exist, this is a first in the industry for a pantograph side door.”
 
 
For Cesari, the advantages are clear for superyacht builders and customers, particularly for GRP yachts. “GRP is alive to some extent – the hull and the superstructure can move over time, which can lead to gaps between the superstructure and the door,” he explains. “With the inflatable seal, you can prevent water ingress even if the hull has suffered a lot of movement as the seal expands to perfectly fill the gap.”
Quick Group started the airlock door project in January 2024 shortly after the Group’s acquisition of Nemo. “We decided to develop this not only because we have the inhouse expertise and the engineering and manufacturing capabilities to develop it, but also because it’s a great opportunity to bring a new product to the superyacht industry where the customer demands much higher quality and a much higher level of features,” says Cesari. “These are aspects that we are perfectly placed to meet – indeed, 90% of the Nemo range is custom made for our customers to match their specific requirements for size and finish.”
 
Sanguineti’s Riviera Series of windlasses and capstans
Sanguineti has long had an association with the superyacht sector as a supplier of retractable capstans, and Quick Group is looking to build on that six-decade heritage with a brand-new range of windlasses and capstans designed for all operational parameters and developed for yachts up to 70 meters LOA.


The new range combines all the key facets that mark Quick Group products: innovation, quality, premium materials, refined design and advanced technology. All models in the Riviera range feature AISI 316 stainless steel bases, along with reducers with excellent anti-corrosive properties that ensure lightness and strength. Each model features optimized drum design for better grip as well as offering a modern and elegant aesthetic suitable for any yacht deck.
The Riviera windlass range features power options from 3.5kW to 15kW and supports chain sizes from 12mm to 26mm. The series includes vertical windlasses available with or without drums, and each model is equipped with an integrated sensor and magnet for the chain counter.
The Riviera capstan range has been developed for yachts from 20 to 70 meters LOA, complementing the historic Sanguineti range and ensuring reliable solutions even in the most challenging conditions. Ease of use and reduced maintenance are guaranteed thanks to intuitive design and durable components. The range can also be customized to meet customer shipyard needs, including choices of color and configuration.
“Sanguineti has 65 years of heritage and has been a leading manufacturer of windlasses for decades, and many of its products are still operational on yachts 40 years on,” says Cesari. “We have drawn on this strong background and combined it with the expertise of the Quick Group – each of our facilities has an expert technical office as well as CNC machines – to launch the Riviera windlass and capstan range with updated designs and all-new features, from the chain stopper to the drum to the remote controls. Sanguineti has always been a leading supplier to the superyacht sector and the new Riviera range will continue this, with windlasses and capstans suitable for yachts from 20 meters all the way up to 70 meters.”
 
The addition of the Nemo Airlock Pantograph Door and the Sanguineti Riviera series underscores Quick Group’s commitment to developing the highest quality products for the yacht and superyacht sectors. “Both of these new lines – along with a new range of portlights that we will also be announcing – expand Quick Group’s impressive line-up of products across 18 different ranges that we are able to supply our customers in the yacht and superyacht sector,” Cesari concludes. “We are the perfect single-point supplier for key deck and systems gear, offering everything from stabilizers and ride control to glass sliding doors, water heaters, lighting and much, much more.”
