4T FORTE
The Next Generation of Sails
Rispetta i più elevati standard di pratiche ambientali e di approvvigionamento responsabile di materiali e fonti energetiche.
Le vele in 4T FORTE sono prodotte con un basso livello di emissioni di CO2 nell’atmosfera e senza l’utilizzo di sostanze inquinanti come colle, resine e solventi.
Al termine della loro vita utile, queste vele vengono riciclate nell’ambito dei normali processi di recupero delle materie prime a base di polietilene per generare il pellet di PE.
Il pellet di polietilene viene utilizzato per la produzione di accessori (come ad esempio le tavolette) da impiegare nella produzione di nuove vele.
Un reticolo strutturale centrale, realizzato con fibre ad alto modulo, si occupa dei carichi principali, mentre microstrati orientati forniscono resistenza in altre direzioni secondarie. L’intera membrana è incapsulata tra strati esterni in ripstop, resistenti ai raggi UV, all’umidità e alla muffa.
OneSails dispone dell’unica tecnologia al mondo in grado di realizzare vele di dimensioni illimitate in un unico pezzo e utilizzando fili continui.
OneSails make a broad range of hi-performance spinnakers for racing boats. The design of every spinnaker is customized for the boat in order to give truly superior performance.
IFS™ sails are designed to incorporate a net of continuous structural fibres, laid directly on to the sail’s luff, effectively replacing the cable. The advantages of this technology are considerable. A wider range of sail shapes can be set and furled with sail handling eased by the reduction in weight.
The gennakers by OneSails are designed for a wide range of apparent wind angle to avoid a continuous trimming during sailing. The Sails are controlled with fluid dynamic software simulations and optimized with the boat dimensions to get easy hoist and dip.
After a solid performance in the inshore races, which provisionally placed it first both overall and in its race B division, and with an excellent result in the long distance race on the same course of the 69th Regata dei Tre Golfi, Sugar 3 consolidates and confirms the result, taking
With a total of 179 days, 18 hours and 32 minutes of sailing have passed, covering 28625 nautical miles Spirit of Helsinki came very close to overall victory, touching it by only 17 hours in the handicap time and thus placing second on the podium. However, it took the victory
We were invited by Holly, founder of Clean Sailors and host of the podcast. During our conversation with Dede De Luca, co-founder and CEO of OneSails, we explored the world of sailmaking, the evolution of sail technology, and how this industry strives to become greener. The topic of the life
