SAILS OVERVIEW

SAIL OVERVIEW

BORA & LEVANTE

In contrast to a conventional Spinnaker/ Gennaker our self-stabilizing sails BORA and LEVANTE are equipped with a lift creating wing in the upper part
of the sail body.

The advantages of this construction can be
summarized within the following features:

AUTOPILOT

Outstanding qualities with activated autopilot.
The entire boat is being stabilized as the sail is automatically balanced by the lifting function of the wing.
This leads to a reduction in rudder pressure and minimized corrections of the autopilot.

CRUISING

Relaxed cruising even without Spinnaker pole.
Besides the wide range of application,
the sail offers one more important aspect, comfort.
Easy to use, even under difficult conditions, the
overall reduced movements in rig and boat are
leading to a new feel of

harmonic
long-distance
cruising.

BORA

Side view of the self-inflatable double layer wing.
The air inside the wing works like a soft batten and
stabilizes the sail from leech to luff.

LEVANTE

Side view of the single membrane wing.
This construction is extremely light and starts to
work even in the lightest breeze.

MATERIALS

Only materials which have been established
over many years are being used. Including very light Nylon fabrics
for the wing and the special water repellent Nylon 44 gram/m²
from TECHFIBER for the sail body.
