Description

DESIGNED FOR SPEED

Everything we produce, from Media Facade on buildings to interiors, to transport, engineering and product design is the culmination of an evolutionary process that derives beauty from form, economy and efficiency.

ABOUT THE

CONSTRUCTION

The control system has a wand that can be trimmed onboard by the crew and the rudder can tilt to get the right uplift to maintain the correct balance. It is designed to be sailed by a 2 person crew and it is made following the 1001Vela Cup regulation. Scarliga Merluss’s hull sandwich is made of denim and cork.

DESIGNED TO BE

FAST

The inner structures are 100% marine plywood while the upper structures are made of aluminum and bamboo. The mainsail is a 14 sqm soft wingsail and it is able to modify its wing profile on every point of sailing in order to have a better lift, up to 30%.

It is made by Heru sails. The boat reached 19 kn at its first trial with 15 kn of true wind.
