3Di DOWNWIND
For the first time, sailors can enjoy the benefits of 3D molding and composite construction in select downwind sails. 3D molding provides a precisely shaped and smooth sail surface for optimized aerodynamics. Composite construction enables high-resolution spread filament tape distribution, placing exactly the right amount of material in exactly the right direction. 3Di DOWNWIND eliminates the parasitic weight and inevitable distortion of mylar film – a significant advantage in lightweight downwind sails.
