BLUEWATER ADVENTURE
It's time to move on and live out the dream! You are in for the big journey. In your adventure there is no room for sail troubles even after thousands of miles. You need sails that last and are easy to handle, even shorthanded. Live it out! Sail away with confidence in design and solutions that don't let you down.
Choosing a new sail or even an entire sail wardrobe very often comes down to a priority of performance, durability, and price. When talking performance, the essence is the shape stability of the sail, whereas the durability refers to the longevity of the sail.
Below are some popular sail- and material combinations in our SOLANO segment. Performance, durability, and price indicators are illustrated for each material combination on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the highest. Use the performance, durability, and price parameters as indicators only, and to compare various material to one another.
Handling our recent 3.000 mile round-trip in Alaska was a breeze thanks to the Elvstrøm Sails on our Moody 54DS. I am particularly happy about our choice of the Blue Water Runner as it is so easy to manage in all the Alaskan fjords. Each fjord acts a bit like a funnel, so we spent many, many hours in classic downwind conditions, and it just suited it so well.
Unique sail solutions and details are available within our different segments. Here are some that are available in SOLANO as either standard or optional. The features shown are examples and depends on the actual sail type.
Super strong dyneema and maintenance free luff tape that makes unfurling and furling easy.
The head pennant is designed to keep the luff safe in the luff profile or furling system.
The soft clew is a great addition in order to protect against samage to the mast and rig.
Soft and slim batten pocket solutions for easy furling. The design saves space in the boom.
