Maritimo represents a defining chapter in FiveBlade’s design story. During his time as Maritimo’s Head of Design from 2016 to 2024, and Managing Director from 2021 to 2024, FiveBlade founder Tom Barry-Cotter led design and new product development through a period of strong commercial success. It was within this environment that the FiveBlade design philosophy and process were refined: insight-driven design, multi-purpose platform thinking, common-component strategies, and modular systems that support both versatility and production efficiency. The result is a depth of experience in large-scale boatbuilding and practical, manufacturing-led design that continues to shape FiveBlade’s work today.
