Every claim below is a dated, verifiable achievement — not a marketing superlative. Where a figure is stated, it's the real one.
In September 2013, Trygons designed and built what was, at the time, the lightest commercial boat ever constructed. Running a standard outboard, it covered Cape Sounio to Santorini burning barely 0.23 litres of fuel per nautical mile — more than twice as efficient as the previous record.
World champion Herbert Nitsch descended to 214 metres on a single breath — 30 metres deeper than the previous record. The diving sled and safety system used were designed and manufactured by Trygons.
A 14-metre full carbon-fibre RIB built with single-shot infusion, complete at roughly 1 tonne — 30% lighter than an equivalent polyester resin-infused hull, and 65% lighter than an equivalent hand-laid-up hull.
A full carbon-fibre in-shoe Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) with an integrated spring feature, for orthopaedic use.
A 100% carbon-fibre hand-luggage filming studio, made by closed-mould infusion, weighing merely 1,400 grams, with four integrated carbon-fibre shelves.
The first full carbon — rather than carbon-look — single-piece sunglasses, made by press moulding with integrated hinges.
