UK Sailmakers’ Head Sail Designer Pat Considine uses BSG Development’s FSI sail analysis program to help fine-tune his sail designs. The FSI program works like a virtual wind tunnel allowing Pat to make sure no section of the sail becomes overloaded, allows him to see how the flying shape changes with trim, mast bend, rig tune across a range of wind speeds. The program analyses how all the components of the boat’s rig and sails work together. In this video Pat talks about how he used the program to advance his sail designs for square top mainsails. At the end of the video analyzing the mainsail shape on the Mark Mills designed Cape 31, Pat said, “Anyone who got a square top mainsail design this year benefited from the Cape 31 study. It helped improve the group’s designs for square top mainsails.” This is just one more example of the technical tools UK Sailmakers uses to ensure our customers get the fastest sails possible.

If you are thinking this, you couldn’t be more wrong! In paid collaboration with @remoranoy We should bust some myths for comments like this one 👆🏽 (Discount code at the end) First of all, people who leave comments like these have probably never been cruising or sailing offshore for extended periods 🤷🏼‍♀️ Right? The stress of seeing your battery state of charge steadily going down is no fun experience, but we have probably all been there? But we are cruisers - not racers! For us, the potential loss in speed is unnoticeable and a very cheap price to pay for knowing that we have a source of energy that works regardless of clouds or if it’s in the middle of the night. The main reason why we like it so much is that it keeps on doing its thing; day and night, mile after mile. It just works! And except from having to clean it from sargasso now and then, it doesn’t require anything and you don’t notice it’s there. For offshore sailing I would say it makes absolute sense to have something like this to take the stress of battery charging off your mind. It’s a great complement to our solar and the alternator on the engine. And as we don’t like the bulkyness of wind generators, this is the only thing that we found suitable. What are your biggest concerns? Do you feel convinced yet that hydro really is a great way of charging your batteries for offshore sailing? Until Feb 28th you get a 5% discount on orders on the Remoran website when using the code LINNEASALE5 at checkout. The code also gives you free DHL standard shipping within the EU. What are you waiting for? Go order your own right now 😉
