Customise your gangway

Sailboat or motorboat owners, customise your gangway!

Non-slip grey with a choice of designs as standard, finished with a white paint to ensure long-term protection of the carbon fibres against UV rays, but it can also be produced in any RAL colour shade, with screen printing of a logo and the name of your boat.

You can choose the size, add teak cladding, stanchions with handrails, or opt for the Smart Lock locking system.

The castors are heavy-duty, with stainless steel rings for fixing the integrated pantry, and the lyre is made of anodised aluminium.

A Mainfurl in-boom furler has been fitted to a Dehler 43 to the delight of its owner, who now sails safely without leaving his cockpit with “disconcerting ease”.

Made from high-strength fibreglass, he was able to choose the colour that best matched the rest of his boat.

The Mainfurl in-boom furler is designed to fit all masts from 35 to 90 feet without drilling – a plug ‘n play solution!

Efficiency of the tides marine mainsail track

Since it was introduced to the market over 25 years ago by Tides Marine in the USA, this system has proved its worth, with thousands of units installed around the world.

What sets this track apart from its competitors is that it is machined from a single piece of flexible, high-friction PTFE that fits into the groove of your mast from the deck, without the need to climb the spar.

Supplied with a set of stainless steel slides, it requires no maintenance. It adapts to all types of sails (full-batten or semi-battened) by bringing them closer to the mast for better performance and does not alter the boat’s centre of gravity with its weight of 500 g/m.

As well as being easy to install and maintain, this one-piece track eliminates any risk of the slides jamming, while considerably reducing friction and providing a level of comfort similar to that of a ball-bearing system.

Already adopted by a large number of small-crew owners looking for an efficient, robust and economical system, it will meet all your expectations.

To prepare for the next season, don’t wait any longer and ask for a quote from your usual préparateur, rigger or master sailmaker.

1 carbon steering wheel for your powerboat

We recently supplied a carbon steering wheel on a speedboat whose owner is delighted with the result.

All the new Power Boat Carbonautica steering wheels distributed by Nautex are also available in a fibreglass composite construction, reducing weight and bringing new visual and design possibilities.

The hub is fully compatible with all standard steering systems available on the market today.

For any other customisation options you may require (choice of colour, logo on hub cap, etc.), please do not hesitate to contact our team!

UBI MAIOR BUSHING BEARING BLOCK

Ubi Maior’s X3M bsuhing bearing blocks offer an excellent load – size – weight ratio.

The technopolymer bearings allow incredibly heavy loads, even static loads, and require no maintenance.

All the aluminium/stainless steel components (or titanium as an option) are anodised with silver ions to prevent bacterial growth on the sheathed Dyneema loop.

Distributed by Nautex, they combine technology, functionality and design (winner of the Seatec Quality Design Award).

The MAINFURL in-boom furler on board a Hanse 545

Installation of a MAINFURL in-boom furler on board a Hanse 545: slim and V-shaped, it was delivered with a high-quality fibreglass body, but it would have been possible to deliver it in carbon instead, two very durable and lightweight materials guaranteeing very high strength.

The MAINFURL in-boom furler is at the cutting edge of technology with an innovative and intelligent in-boom furling system, here electric but a manual system would have been conceivable, both of which can be operated from the cockpit for safe and easy handling.

CARBON OR FIBREGLASS STEERING WHEEL?

Carbonautica’s ultra-light carbon steering wheel are unique in terms of monocoque design, strength and quality. They are built in a single piece combining strength and weight minimisation with the best materials available, with no weak joints or secondary connections.

The fibreglass wheelbars are manufactured in the same way as the carbon wheelbars, in a single piece without bonding, giving a highly resistant monocoque structure. The anodised aluminium hub is integrated into the mould, which is painted before fitting so that the wheel leaves the mould finished. The big difference is that the fibreglass composite wheel is much cheaper than the carbon version!

The Ubi Maior Jiber genoa furler system

The Ubi Maior genoa furler has a number of special features:

> The sail can be attached to the forestay using 2 systems: small straps with a T-bone, or a zipped sleeve. In both cases, the jib can be put in and taken out much more quickly than with conventional furling systems.

> Not having aluminium elements around the forestay means we save over 30kg compared to the conventional system, which may not seem like much, but those kilos count for a lot, especially when they’re up top!

> An additional benefit is better upwind performance thanks to reduced drag and daggerboard near the leading edge of the jib, allowing the boat to make more headway and sail faster.

No longer do you have to choose between the performance of a tuff-luff or the ease of a furling system, here you have the benefits of both in a single system!

Testimonial: fiberglass composite steering wheel on Bali 4.3

Feedback from Patrick V., owner of a Bali 4.3 catamaran, following the installation of a fibreglass composite steering wheel: “I’m very satisfied with this high-quality equipment, the fit and cross-section are perfect, it feels very good to the touch, and it’s very light, which accentuates the boat’s response. I was even able to choose the design from 4 possible options, as well as the colour by supplying the RAL of my choice so that it would blend in well with the exterior upholstery!”
