Born to Race : Episode 4 - Powered By The Wind

At the core of every sailing yacht, no matter how advanced, lies a simple fact: it is powered by the wind through its sails. But within that simplicity, racing teams like Team Malizia constantly keep improving how efficiently that wind can be turned into speed. 🌬️ 🏎️ Every part of the sail plan plays a role: shape, structure, materials, weight, durability, sustainability… But sails are only part of the picture. Their performance also depends on how they work together, how they are adjusted for different conditions, the loads they need to handle, and the rope systems that allow sailors to trim, hoist, reef, and adapt throughout a race. 🏁 Episode 4 – Powered By The Wind explores how Team Malizia is approaching this essential interface between yacht and wind as they design and build their new IMOCA race yacht. ⛵️ Missed the first 3 episodes ?
