Guy Couach yacht service in Mallorca

Blueward Marine provides engineering and technical support for Guy Couach 2100 Open yachts in Mallorca, covering main engines, raw-water cooling, electrical systems and hydraulic roof equipment. Mobile engineers attend around the island, backed by workshop facilities in Palma.

Couach began building vessels at Arcachon Bay, France, in 1897 and continues to build at its Arcachon Bay shipyard.

See PARODIA on Bluebnc

The archived Couach catalogue gives the 2100 Open MTU or MAN engine options from 1,200 to 1,550 CV, plus a hydraulic opening roof. Bluebnc lists PARODIA as a 2006 Guy Couach 2100 Open, 21.6 m long, with diesel power totalling 2,640 hp. Its listed 21.6 m length matches the catalogue's published LOA.

Engines (published)
MTU or MAN, 1,200-1,550 CV each (published options)

First checks on this model

  • Record both engines' model, rating, serial numbers and alarm history, and trend temperatures, boost and exhaust readings side by side under load.
  • Inspect raw-water strainers, pump impellers, heat exchangers and exhaust flow for restriction from Posidonia, sand or warm-water scaling.
  • Cycle the hydraulic opening roof fully, checking ram seals, hoses, reservoir level, limit switches and secure closure without uneven travel.
  • Load-test engine-room ventilation in summer conditions, checking fan current, duct condition, temperatures and any power-related alarms during a sustained run.

Published specifications change with build year and options. Before ordering parts we confirm engine, drive and equipment serial numbers on board.

About Guy Couach

  • 01

    Couach has built pleasure and professional vessels at Arcachon Bay since 1897. Its current yard information describes fibreglass reinforcement, resin, sandwich construction and vacuum infusion as its composite approach. For engineering work, machinery foundations, bonded supports, penetrations and signs of water ingress should be considered alongside mechanical faults, without treating general yard practice as a hull-specific laminate schedule.

  • 02

    The archived 2100 Open catalogue records MTU or MAN engine options from 1,200 to 1,550 CV. In Mallorca, high summer temperatures increase the importance of engine-room ventilation, coolant condition and unrestricted raw-water flow. Posidonia and sand can obstruct strainers, while short operating turnarounds leave little time for cooling faults, leaks or hydraulic problems to develop between inspections.

  • 03

    Bluebnc Yachting's managed fleet in Mallorca includes PARODIA, a 2006 Guy Couach 2100 Open listed at 21.6 m and 2,640 hp total. Bluebnc works with Blueward Marine as its marine engineering company. Blueward's Palma workshop and mobile engineers provide a practical base for assessment, planned servicing and technical support across Mallorca and the Balearics.

Systems on these Guy Couach models

  1. 01

    Main engines

    The 2100 Open catalogue gives MTU or MAN engine ratings from 1,200 to 1,550 CV. An engineer first reviews alarm history, operating temperatures, fluid condition, leakage and service records. Cooling flow, fuel delivery and engine-room ventilation then need assessment under load, particularly during Mallorca's hotter months when marginal heat exchangers or restricted air ducts become apparent.

  2. 02

    Raw-water cooling

    Warm seawater, Posidonia and sand make the raw-water circuit a priority on a high-output 2100 Open. Initial checks cover seacocks, strainers, pump output, impellers, heat exchangers and exhaust-water flow. Temperature differences between the two installations can help locate restriction, scaling or reduced pump performance before overheating causes an alarm or enforced shutdown.

  3. 03

    Roof hydraulics

    Couach's catalogue describes a hydraulic opening roof for the 2100 Open. Engineers check reservoir level, fluid condition, pump pressure, hoses, ram seals, electrical supply and limit switches. The roof should move evenly through its full travel and close securely. Salt deposits, blocked drainage or misalignment can overload the mechanism and cause intermittent stopping or fluid leakage.

  4. 04

    Electrical systems

    The main engines, ventilation equipment and hydraulic roof all depend on stable electrical supply and sound control circuits. First checks include battery condition, charging voltage, shore supply, cable terminations, protection devices and earth connections. Voltage drop during engine starting or roof operation can expose weak batteries, corroded connections or overloaded circuits that remain hidden during light-load testing.

Questions captains ask

Couach's archived catalogue lists MTU or MAN options from 1,200 to 1,550 CV per engine. Across that output range, cooling-water flow, charge-air temperature, fuel delivery and engine-room ventilation are central to diagnosis. Bluebnc's specification for PARODIA records diesel power totalling 2,640 hp for this managed yacht.

The 2100 Open catalogue describes a hydraulic opening roof. Slow or uneven travel usually directs the first checks towards fluid level, pump output, ram leakage, hose condition, limit-switch operation and electrical supply. Closure security and drainage also matter, because salt deposits and standing water can damage seals and create intermittent operation.

With published engine ratings up to 1,550 CV per engine, unrestricted raw-water flow and effective engine-room ventilation matter in summer. Inspect strainers for Posidonia and sand, verify pump and exhaust flow, compare heat-exchanger temperatures, and check coolant condition under load. Rising temperatures on one engine can then be compared with the opposite installation.
