OUR TECHNOLOGIES
3Di MOLDED COMPOSITES
3Di is a unique, patented sailmaking technology that produces the world's fastest and most reliable sails. 3Di sails mirror the balanced load bearing and shape holding of a rigid airfoil wing. They are constructed from spread filament tapes, contain no Mylar film, and are 3D molded into a one-piece, flexible composite sail structure.
