increase production to meet consumer demand, we are actively seeking new factory team members who can be part of this exciting time and work with our growing team to ensure quality in every build.” CHANGE LEADS TO INNOVATION “Having the ability to build our own wiring system was particularly critical in the development and implementation of MyHelm™,” Maxwell explains. During the ramp up of the new wiring shop, Daniel Denis was brought aboard to assist in designing this new proprietary system. MyHelm™ smartly integrates the switching and monitoring of many auxiliary components such as lighting, livewells and pumps into a multifunction display available on Regulator’s 37- and 41foot models. “The other advantage of making vs. buying these wiring systems is the ability to change the harnesses more quickly as options are added and longer or shorter runs are needed,” says Eric Johnson, the Electrical Engineer who is the mastermind behind the layout drawings and build process for Regulator’s new inhouse wiring operations. Facing challenges head-on has been in Regulator’s DNA from the very beginning. The first Codega Naval Architectsdesigned hull of the Regulator 26 was built to withstand the challenges and punishment of running offshore in coastal North Carolina. Over 30 years have passed since the first 26 splashed and Regulator is still overcoming challenges without sacrificing quality or the Legendary Ride. “While Regulator had a great engineering team four years ago, the addition of Director of Engineering, David Clubbs and the talent he has procured is the reason Regulator has been able to pivot and continue running manufacturing in this challenging time,” Maxwell explains. Growing their engineering team allowed Regulator to meet the latest onslaught of challenges. Bringing wiring harness construction in-house helped give birth to the MyHelm™ System and has also built a team that continues to seek greater efficiency in every aspect of the build. Maxwell concludes, “While supply chain shortages have impacted Regulator’s business, they are not crippling us. Our team is stepping up in a huge way. They are using their deep knowledge of processes, as well as teamwork and ingenuity to keep our production lines moving, and growing, while always maintaining the quality we are known for.” The marine industry will never be without challenges and Regulator Marine will continue equipping their business with the best minds, materials and processes to ensure the “Legendary Ride” will be available to all who wish to own one.
