PERFORMANCE GAINS

Are you racing with an unnecessary additional person constantly standing side on to the apparent wind? That’s what each race could be currently costing you.

A recent independent theoretical drag analysis on two different composite rigging products; EC6+ and PBO rigging on VO70 class yachts, revealed that 22.4N more drag resulted from PBO when sailing in 12 knots of breeze.

That’s the equivalent to the aerodynamic drag of a man with snug fitting clothing standing side on to the apparent wind. The drag differences are amplified as the wind speed increases.

EC6+ carbon rigging has captured all the performance factors into one form:

• aerodynamics
• longevity
• durability
• strength
• weight
