Zodiac fits out its new Medline 7.5 with Serge Ferrari
Eden WP
Zodiac has created 4 exclusive upholsteries for its new boat, combining the Batyline Eden and Stamskin Top products from Serge Ferrari. Zodiac has selected quality materials with a unique design.
By choosing the Batyline and Stamskin range for the upholstery on its new Medline 7.5, Zodiac opts for materials combining the proven durability of a material developed for the most demanding environments, with an appearance and textile feel offering unprecedented comfort, modernity and ease of maintenance.
Serge Ferrari textiles for unparalleled comfort
Like the entire Batyline range, Batyline Eden is based on extruded wire weaving technology. A Polyester yarn is coated with a formulated polymer that protects it from degradation caused by UV, mechanical and chemical agents, etc. This yarn is then woven together with an uncoated textile yarn offering a textile feel and optimal UV resistance, after which the wires are attached under heat. The mechanical strength of the polyester yarn, combined with the polymer resin's chemical resistance and textile feel, make Batyline Eden a highly innovative flexible composite material.

Shared success
This is a development resulting from close collaboration between Zodiac Nautic and Serge Ferrari. A relationship of this kind is required because any new choice of material must comply with the technical requirements of both Zodiac and those of the fabric supplier who will be working with the material every day. The ultimate goal is the same for everyone: to provide boaters with a pleasantly aesthetic, comfortable and durable product for an onboard experience that extends the pleasure of every day afloat.
An optimal customer experience
Georges Rioux is based at Trinité-sur-Mer, and has been a Zodiac representative for 25 years.
"We have sold 3 boats since launching the new Zodiac Medline 7.5. One with Batyline Eden upholstery and Stamskin Top, the other entirely in Stamskin Top Club, the "leather grain" version. Our customers have responded very favourably to this new offering and the high-end finish it brings. They particularly appreciate the Eden for its softness and comfort. Furthermore, the Stamskin Top Club offers a very good quality leather grain finish, which is rarely found anywhere else in the boating world.
"It is quite clear that offering superior upholstery makes it easier for us to sell our boats."
