Spidertech™ Integrated System

The structure

"Fibres are precisely positioned onto the dynamic load lines" or "the load is all over and so the fibres are placed all over", both of these statements are true in part.
In reality, there are both dynamic pressure loads and there are loads generated by the restraints and trimming points. For this reason Spidertech™ Integrated System has a number of structure types used to provide the desired shape, stability and weight. The central or primary system, thanks to its natural web-like geometry, is used to effectively absorb the dynamic load and redistribute it onto a wide area of the sail.
The use of various orders of secondary structure allows an infinite number of solutions and the analysis software is designed to aid the designer in optimising the structure by providing a realistic interpretation of the areo-elastic phenomena.

The laminate

Our lamination technology is leading edge, load-sustaining fibre, total absence of air, optimal adhesion control, technology that has been consolidated through years of practice.
We have obtained a sail that can be light or capable of working through a wider wind range, ideal for those wishing to limit the number of sails in their suit.

Quality guarantee

Using FMG - Spidertech™ Integrated System sail-makers have access to:
design software, with excellent security guarantees regarding the exchange of data and final product controls;
experimental analysis systems, load evaluation on the sail, wind-tunnel testing;
craft optimisation, rating analysis. Spidertech™ Integrated System is a construction system that offers enormous experimental freedom to the designer allowing and encouraging full use of his own experience and studies.
