Safety
Absolute safety. Sail relaxed, feel and be safe at all times, no compromise on that! Safety comes from 5 basic characteristics: Robust structure, Stability, Unsinkability, Offshore design, Speed potential and Active safety systems
Robust structure:
- Hulls reinforced both longitudinally and transversally
- All bulkheads are structurally integrated
- Extra reinforcement on highly stressed areas of hull and deck (winches, rudder pits, engine etc.)
- Topconstruction quality
Stability:
- Great reserve of righting moment.
Un-sinkability:
- Buoyancy foam below front and aft cabins
- Watertight aft and bow crash compartments
Offshore design:
- CE Cat A – ISO 12217‐2 for Ocean Sailing.
Speed: Being fast is an element of safety per se:
- reach shelter quickly
- escape from a weather front
Active safety systems:
- automatic mainsail sheet release system
- automatic frontsail sheet release system
Those automatic systems are connected to a sofisticated combination of accelerometer and inclinometer that will intervene before the boat gets into a critical situation from a stability point of view. Such systems were developed for ocean racing multihulls.
