Specialist in daggerboard well bearings
For over 60 years now, Vesconite has been specializing in high-strength self-lubricating bearings. The use of a specific thermopolymer gives these high-quality bearings 10 times the durability of standard mechanisms that use traditional bronze or nylon bushings.

This performance has not escaped the notice of certain boat builders - at least those who build the most high-performance sailboats equipped with daggerboards or foils... In fact, in less than 10 years, Vesconite Bearings has already produced more than 80 daggerboard well bearings. These highly specialized products feature a rectangular housing with a central cut-out in the shape of a NACA profile (elongated teardrop) and are customizable. The bearings are offered in a wide range of sizes, from a modest 140 x 64 x 25 mm to an enormous 1,094 x 214 x 82 mm.
