Alongside the introduction of 4T FORTE™ sails, OneSails are the first sailmaker in the world to deliver sails with an electronic chip encapsulated in the membrane as standard.
The OneSD™ microchip will carry data which will help the end user and the OneSails network identify and monitor the sail over the course of its life. Simply place a suitable device next to the chip to read the recorded identifier and design data.
Currently is a tool used internally among the OneSails Lofts, but a PRO version of the OneSD™ chip will be introduced soon, providing important features for the owner.
The possibilities will be many: real-time recording of sail activity when connected to onboard systems, measurement of hours of UV exposure or the number of turns and gybes made. Everything will be recorded with the goal of keeping track of usage and improving sail performance and ownership experience.

A PRO version of the OneSD™ chip will shortly be introduced which will allow real-time recording of the sail’s activity when linked to onboard systems. There are many possibilities, from hours exposed to UV, to the number of tacks and gybes experienced – all recorded with the aim of improving sail performance and the ownership experience.
For over 15 years the OneSails design team have developed exclusive technologies to make one-piece continuous thread sails a reality for cruising and racing boats.
Features like weight, shape control and deformation resistance means better performance compared to traditional panelled sails.
4T FORTE™ membranes are exclusively made in Italy. All the assembly process is completely made in a unique factory ensuring the meeting of all the required standards.
