Marine

Is it a Hobby or a Business? Why Not Both?

At Elevate Composites, we’re not just about ladders—we’re about solving problems wherever they show up, including on the water. When we’re not designing lighter, stronger tools for the construction world, we’re tinkering with parts for Pommes Frites, the boat we race on.

Whether it’s a custom part to shave off weight, improve performance, or just make things easier on deck, we can’t seem to stop designing and innovating. Is it a hobby? Maybe. Is it a business? Could be. Honestly, we’re not sure—but we spend a lot of time doing it, and we love every second.

Examples of What We’re Building

Here’s a taste of what our workshop has churned out for Pommes Frites:

  • Lightweight, high-strength composite fittings

  • Custom deck hardware designed for speed and durability

  • Rigging components built to withstand the harshest conditions without weighing us down

Every piece is designed with the same philosophy we bring to our ladders: stronger, lighter, better.

Why Marine?

The marine world demands the same kind of innovation and problem-solving as construction. If there’s an environment that’s as tough on gear as construction, it’s salt water.  Every detail matters. And every solution has to hold up against the toughest elements.

For us, working on Pommes Frites isn’t just about winning races (though that’s nice, too). It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—testing materials, improving designs, and figuring out how to make life easier for anyone who spends their time on the water.

What’s Next?

We’re not sure where this journey will take us, but if you’ve got ideas for marine parts, we’re always up for a challenge. Whether you’re racing, cruising, or dreaming, we’d love to hear from you.
