TECHNOLOGIES

Olimpic Sails has always aimed to combine its development with the use of new and advanced technologies, always more important to face any shipowner's demand and to propose on the market totally suitable products for any offshore boat. With its own new technologies, Olimpic Sails is able to design the volumes, the structure and the positioning of every single sail's fiber and especially to develop its own continuous-thread membranes, with no need to turn to external suppliers. In this way Olimpic Sails holds control of each sail's entire production cycle, ensuring very high quality standards.

OLIMPIC SAILS uses SMAR-Azure as its software for designing sails. SMAR-Azure is a complete programme which makes it possible to design the sail’s volume (fig. 1) and also to plan the lay of the sail’s fibres, choosing type, density and position of every single fibre (fig. 2). At this point, the position of the hoisted sail on the yacht is simulated (fig. 3) and a precise fluid, dynamic and structural analysis of the product as designed is effected (fig. 4). Only after this process has been terminated is the Olimpic sail put into production, the base membrane being laminated using a new and completely automated system. The re-sult is a unique, versatile product that is exceptional in terms of its hard-wearing and long-lasting nature.
