Como Velejar Melhor e com Mais Seguraça? As fitas presas à vela de um veleiro, conhecidas como telltales ou faixas de vento, desempenham um papel crucial na navegação à vela, auxiliando o capitão a determinar o ajuste ideal do rumo em relação ao vento. Essas fitas são instrumentos simples, porém eficazes, que fornecem informações valiosas sobre o fluxo de ar ao redor da vela, permitindo que o velejador tome decisões informadas para maximizar a velocidade e a eficiência da embarcação. As fitas são geralmente compostas de tecido leve e colorido, como fita adesiva ou tiras de plástico. Elas são presas à superfície da vela em pontos estratégicos, como a borda de ataque ou a área do painel principal. O número e a posição das fitas podem variar de acordo com o tamanho e o tipo de vela, bem como as condições de vento prevalecentes. Em geral, são instaladas várias fitas em cada lado da vela, permitindo uma visão mais ampla do fluxo de ar. Quando o velejador ajusta o rumo em relação ao vento, as fitas oferecem informações visuais instantâneas sobre o desempenho da vela. Quando o veleiro está no ângulo ideal em relação ao vento, as fitas ficam paralelas à corrente de ar, indicando que a vela está bem ajustada e maximizando sua capacidade de propulsão. Isso significa que o vento está fluindo suavemente pela superfície da vela, proporcionando a sustentação necessária para impulsionar o barco. No entanto, se as fitas começarem a se agitar ou a ficarem irregulares, é um sinal de que o fluxo de ar está sendo perturbado. Por exemplo, se as fitas do lado de fora da vela começarem a se afastar da superfície, significa que o ângulo em relação ao vento é muito fechado, conhecido como "fechar demais o vento". Isso resulta em um arrasto excessivo e perda de velocidade. Por outro lado, se as fitas próximas ao centro da vela começarem a se separar, indica que o ângulo em relação ao vento é muito aberto, ou seja, "abrir demais o vento". Isso leva a uma perda de eficiência e diminuição da velocidade. Com base nessas indicações visuais fornecidas pelas fitas, o velejador pode fazer ajustes precisos no rumo para otimizar o desempenho do veleiro. Ao monitorar as fitas constantemente, o capitão pode garantir que o ângulo em relação ao vento seja mantido dentro de uma faixa ideal, maximizando a propulsão e a velocidade do barco. Além disso, as fitas também são úteis para detectar outras condições de navegação importantes. Por exemplo, se as fitas começarem a vibrar ou tremer rapidamente, pode indicar rajadas de vento ou mudanças repentinas na direção do vento. Isso pode alertar o velejador para se preparar e ajustar a vela de acordo, evitando surpresas e possíveis manobras perigosas.

Filling sails, fueling adventure. Aboard an Oceanis Yacht 60, they’re one and the same. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
