Product catalog summary
Sail Design and Analysis
  • Sail Shape: The geometry of the sail is defined using a 3D design program and a comprehensive database of boat and sail types.
  • Aerodynamic Analysis: Utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to compute and visualize aerodynamic forces, wind angles, velocities, and air pressure distribution.
  • Structural Analysis and Fiber Mapping: Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to evaluate stresses and strains, determining optimal flying shape and fiber layout.
  • Output Design: Refines sail design elements to achieve optimal shape, structure, and fiber layout, with precise specifications for manufacturing.
Manufacturing and Verification
  • Manufacturing: Sails are built following stringent standards and proprietary procedures to ensure quality.
  • Verification: Design advancements and the iQ process are validated through on-the-water testing.
Product Series Overview
  • 9000 Series: Features 100% Carbon for superior strength and low-stretch performance, suitable for boats 40-80 feet.
  • 7000 Series: Offers a blend of Carbon and Aramid fibers or 100% Twaron®, designed for high performance with excellent heel control.
  • 5000 Series: Versatile sails for mid-size racers, available in Carbon/Twaron® blends.
  • 3000 Series: Affordable, high-quality sails for small to mid-size racers, made from 100% Black Polyester.
Technological Features
  • Fiber Network: Fusion M™ sails use a dense, isotropic fiber matrix developed through FEA, ensuring even load distribution and durability.
  • Lamination Process: A two-step process with vacuum bagging and infrared heat, producing a strong membrane with UV protection.
  • Matte Film Benefits: Provides UV resistance, reduced glare, and a smoother finish for better handling and visibility.
  • Post-cured Shaping: Ensures the best initial shape and longevity by fully curing lamination before shaping.
Fiber Selection
  • Different fibers are available to suit various boat sizes and sailing needs, with properties like initial modulus, tenacity, and UV resistance being key factors.
