Offshore Cruising Sails



Terwijl inshore cruising floreert met een klassieke crosscut-lay-out, opent de Offshore-lijn nieuwe dimensies in vormbehoud en sterkte:

Triradiaal & Crosscut-opties: Kies voor een robuuste crosscut-lay-out of stap over op een triradiale constructie. Triradiale lay-outs lijnen de doekvezels perfect uit met de primaire belastingslijnen van het zeil. Hierdoor blijft je zeil vlakker en vaart je boot sneller zodra de wind toeneemt.

Elite doekselectie: We doen geen concessies aan het materiaal. Afhankelijk van jouw doelen selecteren we uit zeildoeken van wereldklasse, waaronder Fibercon, WarpTech, Hydranet WCXI of een Dyneema Hybrid, de absolute gouden standaard voor wereldwijde passaatwindreizigers die absolute vormvastheid en maximale scheurbestendigheid eisen.
