North Sails Helix Code 55 3Di DOWNWIND Gray

HELIX CODE 55

Las velas Helix Code están diseñadas para ofrecer la máxima versatilidad y una entrega de potencia constante. Esta nueva generación de velas Code cuenta con un grátil estructurado que reparte de forma óptima la carga total con un cabo de Future Fibres especialmente diseñado, lo que permite una entrega de potencia constante, una menor carga total, una mayor proyección del grátil y un mayor rango. El potencial de rendimiento de las velas Helix Code se maximiza con North Sails 3Di, pero también está disponible para velas de paneles para portantes.

Esencialmente, un génova o un foque con un ancho sin restricciones para crear la forma de vuelo óptima sin respetar las reglas. Dependiendo del solapamiento y del diseño, acabarán con un ancho medio de entre el 55% y el 60%. Puede ser de tope de palo o fraccional, y esta vela carga el aparejo rápidamente, especialmente el tope de palo y los botalones sin soporte. Requiere un cabo de grátil con una tensión considerable o HELIX

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.
Modern asymmetric reaching sails require low stretch, lightweight, and highly durable materials. NPL DOWNWIND sails meet these requirements because they’re cut from purpose-built materials produced on the North Cloth laminator. North Sails offers multiple constructions to optimally address the wide range of conditions encountered by reaching sails – for inshore, offshore, monohull, multihull, racing, or cruising.
