Successful, Race winning & well proven
IRC Yacht designed by
The story of the Moonbeams began
in 1858 with Moonbeam I &II.
In 1902 Charles Plumtree Johnson,
an eminent London lawyer, decided
to go back to William Fife for the
creation of his 3rd yacht taking into
account his navigation projects as he
wanted to race under the new RORC
tonnage which included sailing ships
with fitted-out interiors. Moonbeam
III was launched in 1903, hull n° 491
to leave the Fife yard. The result was
a magnificent yacht which has now
become one of the most successful
classic yachts in the world. Her
streamlined shape and large sail
surface area both make for an
extremely elegant and unique yacht.

UK SAILMAKERS’
TITANIUM & UNI-TITANIUM:
BACK TO CONTENTS
The Holy Grail of Sail Materials
al

TecBrief
The other key element is the Carbon used in Uni-TITANIUM
sails, which is extruded as a 2m-wide continuous fibre sheet
for added strength yet with unmeasurable thinness. This looks
similar to one of your old cassette tapes, but is a lot stronger
and less likely to be used as emergency tell tales.
The four layers are dropped into a custom-formed variable
geometry thermoform in which the sail is UV-bonded into one
piece at 1 bar pressure under vacuum. This is a concave
form, and the ‘variable geometry’ part is the unmentionable
proprietary part of this process. Suffice to say the copolymer
melts around the carbon fibres and then down through the
unidirectional weave cloth, and the result is a whole that
becomes substantially greater than the sum of its parts.
What’s happened here is that instead of applying the load path
structural members to a pre-made sail membrane, the sail skin
and load path structures have been fabricated as one integral
straight out of the deck! So it’s strong –
stronger than we realised. JELIK’s present
No 3 only has one layer of unidirectional in
the sandwich, and it is holding up just fine.”
Another impressive result came recently at
the ORC World Championship, where Heinz-Peter
Schmidt’s GP 42 NEO SILVA team earned Bronze
medals in Class A. They had high praise for their Uni-TITANIUM
sails contributing to their success in a class of 27 boats from
several nations.
“The sails were incredibly light and flexible, but also
stable,” said Schmidt. “The trimmer’s work was much easier
because the shapes never distorted, yet they could add depth
and move the draft in the mainsail in a wide range of wind
speed. The mainsail weighs only 25 kg, but we never have any
problems when the wind is strong. In fact, our targets had to
product. The result is a sail that is formed to exactly the right
shape, as stiff as cross-grain plywood thanks to the unidirectional
panels, as strong as the carbon load-bearing fibres can make it,
and – here’s the bonus – it is not subject to UV degradation. In
fact, quite the opposite, because along with heat, ultraviolet
light is part of the process that bonds everything together.
This unidirectional carbon cloth is also massively strong as
well as gossamer light, and its job is to provide rigidity to resist
the typical twisting forces found in a sail that is being pulled in
four directions – from the head, the tack and the clew, as well
as form the luff to the leech.
Hayes recalls how the development process started. “When
we made our very first (Uni) Titanium sail there was inevitably
a certain amount of experimentation,” he said, “a sort of
suck-it-and-see process where the materials were concerned.
We sandwiched three layers of unidirectional cloth into a No 3
jib built for Frank Pong’s R/P 76 JELIK. We knew the material
was strong, but we didn’t expect the jib lead car to get ripped
be adjusted because we were 0.3 knots faster upwind!”
Schmidt is no newcomer to success: his last boat won the
ORC European Championship in 2011 and again last year,
and was also equipped with UK sails. He credited his team’s
ongoing success with the support he has received from the
UK Sails operation in Germany, one of 50 lofts located around
the world. It’s this strength in depth that has come together
time and again over the decades to produce some of the
finest racing sails in the world, with the latest of these being
UK Titanium – strong, light, stiff, practically bulletproof, and
beautifully engineered.

with a co-polymer to comprise the outside faces of the
construction, with the familiar pattern of load-bearing carbon
fibres oriented along load paths in the sail. In Uni-TITANIUM
sails, a uni-directional carbon cloth is also introduced between
the skins to help further stabilize sail shape.
This construction method has the exterior films perform the
combination of both the ‘finish’ and the glue that holds
everything together. Shiny and weatherproof on the outside,
the grey (or black) PET co-polymer skins are tacky on the
inside, holding the whole layer cake together as it is
constructed and also providing the resin that is going to melt
down and through the interior elements, just like the cheese
in a Reuben sandwich. There is no need for added glue on the
fibres, which contributes to not only excess weight, but in time
the brittle glues break down and can cause de-laminations.
Furthermore, that makes for lighter sails (by 15-30%),
happier foredeck teams, and ultimately happier owners who
are not replacing their mis-shapened and broken sails as often.
The PET film is a key element to the sandwich: at only 1.3
micrometers thick, this material provided by Dimension Polyant
is incredibly tough, and will be most familiar for its use in plastic
litre bottles and in some paper currencies - try tearing either of
these apart. Sunlight and heat up to 50°C does nothing to PET,
not even make it shrink like many other similar materials.
PAVEL NESVADBA
brings additional qualities to the laminate never seen before.
It is fitting that the name UK has chosen for this new material
is the very definition of strength, lightness, toughness and
durability: TITANIUM.
The process to produce TITANIUM resides in a corner of
Hong Kong that is off-limits to visitors due to the sensitivity
UK Sailmakers has to revealing the numerous innovations
developed in the production of this material that may be the
Holy Grail of sail materials.
“It’s a lot of science, a good helping of art, and a pinch of
black magic,” says UK Sailmakers’ Barry Hayes of UK
Sailmakers’ massive loft in Hong Kong. “Titanium sails are
true one-piece sails that have continuous yarns running
between the corners of the sail. They are the latest chapter in
a story that began back in the 1980’s with UK Tape-Drive.”
When first introduced, Tape-Drive represented a remarkable
insight to knowing how to separate the load-bearing and the
air-impermeability functions of a sail. Using carbon tapes that
followed the computer predicted load paths between the
corners of the sail, Tape-Drive was a leap forward in producing
membranes that were strong in the right directions without
having excess weight.
UK’s TITANIUM sails continue this heritage of innovation
through a new process of building the film-fibre-laminate sails.
It starts with two thin films made of tough PET that are coated

Bolt 37
Fast and fun can be affordable and accessible
When introduced a year ago to the marketplace, Jason Ker’s
Bolt 37 design seemed like an impossible dream: a manageablesized pure race boat that promised to be fast, fun to sail,
offshore-capable, and with all the features expected in a modern
race boat, but at a price affordable to a broad marketplace. And
nearly a year after the launch of the first boat, its speed on
paper and in design renderings have translated into reality, with
boat-for-boat horizon jobs achieved against many larger racer
and cruiser-racer designs.
But how can this be possible for a production boat, and one
fitted with a Hall high-modulus carbon spars and Harken hardware,
at a base boat price of only €149,000? Anything else that
comes this close in performance is usually twice this price.
The answer is in the careful attention made to choosing the
right trade-offs in performance and cost-efficiency in both the
design features and the materials and production techniques used
in the build. These choices have been made with the extensive
experience Ker has had with numerous other performance designs
created in both custom and production form from a variety of
builders around the world.
‘Our brief was to create a low-cost high-performance boat
that could interest the large market of club-based racers who
wanted an accessible, easy-to-race design,’ said Jason Ker.
‘Furthermore, this boat had deliver excitement and performance,
but also at a modest price and good build quality. We think we
have achieved this in the Bolt.’
In design, Ker’s extensive use of Fine-Marine RANS CFD
computations on their in-house cluster of computers has produced
an attractive low freeboard hull shape that nicely balances the
opposing forces of stability and drag. The quite generous sail plan
produces plenty of power, and with minimal wetted surface
area the hull shape allows impressive boatspeed when other boats
are struggling just to move in light air. Yet when the breeze
comes on, the hull shape has excellent form stability and sufficient
righting moment to continue to harness that power and hit planing
speeds sooner than most of the competition.

While offered at a low price, the build process for the Bolt 37
represents the same no-compromise approach using the latest
techniques found among any contemporary high-performance
production boat builder. The hull, bulkheads, stiffeners and the
deck are built in female tooling with E-glass and use of Core-cell
M-Foam core, a superior material 40% more expensive than
conventional PVC foams, with vinylester resin infused with
vacuum assistance to minimize voids and control the amounts
of resin to keep the design weight consistent enough for one-design
standards and at just under 4000kg. This choice of resin in the
laminates takes advantage of the compatibility of vinylester with
the gelcoat finish for a further reduction in cost and build time.
CNC-moulded composite skins encase the cast steel keel
fin, which supports the antimony-lead alloy bulb cast in CNC-milled
plug, then faired with templates and painted. This approach
ensures that no additional fairing and finishing is necessary before
racing. Static and dynamic loads from the keel are linked to the
hull and rig via an internal alloy frame structure bonded to the hull.
At such an impressively low price, the Bolt 37 could be
bought in bulk and easily start sprouting one-design fleets.
However, an important aspect of the Bolt’s design is in the excellent
value for rated performance when racing under ORCi and even IRC
handicaps. No doubt the cost-control credits being built in to
the HPR rule will also make the Bolt an attractive option for
those that want to play among similar-sized high-performance
designs but at a fraction of the cost.
‘We are very pleased with the reception we have had among
the first several Bolt owners,’ said Karem Ozkan of KA Yachting,
developer of the Bolt 37. ‘Even with teams that represent a mixture
of talent levels, they are still able to access the high performance
levels in this design. In this way we feel the Bolt is truly a
breakthrough in its ability to deliver unparalleled performance value
to the racing sailor.
‘We look forward to seeing the Bolt come to more racing venues
throughout Europe and beyond so that everyone can see that
high performance does not have to come at a high price.’

Gill never stands still
The Gill collection has grown rapidly over recent years and as
an increasingly global brand – understanding what people like
and why they like it is the key to successfully responding to
differing market requirements.
Our policy is never to stand still and we have an ongoing programme
of testing and evaluation of new materials, components and
manufacturing technology. We work very closely with technology
partners, keeping us at the forefront of new developments. As boats
are becoming faster and lighter so we too are taking advantage
of developments in material and design technology.
Product, fabric and component testing and quality assurance
are at the core of all our product development programmes. We
believe that no other marine brand invests as much time and
resource into testing, with over 25% of our company employed in
product design and development. We have our own in-house testing
facility as well as working with leading laboratories around the world.
We are able to innovate through understanding the challenges
facing our customers. We spend time working with, and often sailing
with, those same customers. This challenges our development
team to come up with creative and sometimes experimental product
ideas. A great example of a proactive product development strategy
is the Gill Race Collection.
Inspired by the highest-level match racing and day racing regattas
in the best sailing venues around the world, our research and
development programme resulted in the aspirational and bold Race
Collection. Access to teams in events such as the 52 Super Series,
the Extreme Sailing Series and others was a key component of
the process, with our product development team being invited
behind the scenes in terms of attending briefing sessions,
helping with boat maintenance, on-the-water race training and even
competing with teams.
Getting so close to today’s top crews allowed us to understand
the priorities and requirements of the individual team members,
from bowman to helmsman through to the shore crew, for whom
we carefully established what they liked and what they didn’t like
about their current kit bag. It also allowed
teams to challenge us to find design solutions
that addressed the rigours of racing at the top of the sport.
The end result was a no-compromise, performance Race Collection
of co-ordinated team kit. Every design feature had to earn its
place and those not deemed necessary were stripped out.
This development process never stops. We continue to learn
from our partners on the professional racing circuit. For 2014
we are once again working with our friends at Emirates Team
New Zealand supplying all the team requirements for the 2014
Extreme Sailing Series which recently kicked off in Singapore.
Working with teams likes this gives us the best-informed feedback
with which to reassess our products constantly and identify
future development opportunities.

After four successful years, EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour, has matured into an event that
offers golden opportunities for teams looking for a unique challenge, maximum brand
exposure and big returns during the European winter season, writes Sue Pelling.
Teams looking for winter training and a unique and challenging
event that promises maximum exposure in a friendly, receptive
and affluent environment, could do worse than sign up for the fifth
edition of EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour (SATT) scheduled for
15-28 February 2015.
With high level sailors including the likes of leading French
sailors/SATT 2014 winners, Sidney Gavignet, Damien Iehl and
Cedric Pouligny, plus Bertrand Pacé, and Britain’s Dee Caffari
rating SATT as one of the best events of its type on the circuit,
it is not surprising this annual event is fast gaining a reputation
as the ultimate test of all round sailing skill.
On similar lines to the Tour de France à la Voile, this event
naturally appeals to commercially driven teams seeking maximum
brand exposure and big returns. However, the focus is also on
club/corporate teams, or teams from the armed forces that
may wish to not only exploit their sailing talent on the international
circuit, but also to use SATT as a team building exercise, and
as a platform in which to help build international relations.
Since its inception in 2011, EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour (SATT)
has grown in popularity and prestige both locally and internationally
and has become a media success story. In its first year, the
event yielded US$3.8m of PR media return, in the following
years that value doubled to more than US$9m and in 2014 it
achieved more than US$13.5m of coverage.
At the fourth edition of the event in February 2014, a highly
competitive mixed fleet of professionals, students and local teams,
including an all-girls team led by American Katie Pettibone (former
America’s Cup and VOR sailor), and the Royal Navy of Oman,
enjoyed two weeks of intense one-design racing. The seven-leg,
760-mile course from Bahrain to Muscat (Oman) via the Arabian
Peninsula gave teams the opportunity to enjoy close, tactical racing
in some of the best summer sailing conditions imaginable.
With EFG’s continued support, the 2015 edition of this Oman
Sail-organised event is expected to be even better with new
race course and format designed to improve the overall experience
and offer locals, amateurs and professionals from Europe,
North America and beyond a chance to experience the Middle East
as a prime international sailing location. The timing in February
provides those in the northern hemisphere a perfect opportunity
to escape winter and enjoy top-class racing in sparkling sunshine
and crystal clear waters.
Dee Caffari plans to compete again in the future once she fulfils
her commitments with the Volvo Ocean Race 2014/15.
Commenting on the benefits of taking part in the event, Caffari
said: “The exposure for commercial partners involved in the
EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour is second to none. Also for those
looking for winter training in an interesting location in the depths
of a European winter, this event is ideal. The warmth of the
sunshine, the brilliant blue waters, and the intense pace of the
event with the mix of offshore and in-port races, in identical
boats where only seconds separate first and last, is a fantastic
way to improve sailing skill and teamwork.”
With arrangements for the 2015 event well underway, interest
is gaining momentum with seven teams already confirmed. The
plan is to run a four-day practice and warm-up session at Oman’s
luxury oceanfront development – The Wave, Muscat – before
the fleet embarks on a two-week, 676-nautical mile race west
bound towards Saudi Arabia.
The first 105-nautical mile leg is to Sohar (Oman), followed
by the longest leg (172 nautical miles) round the spectacular
Musandam Peninsula to Ras Al Khaimah (UAE). Leg 3 is to
Dubai (UAE), followed by Abu Dhabi (UAE), Doha (Qatar), and Al
Khobar (Saudi Arabia) where the event will conclude with a final
in-port race and closing ceremony.
The Farr 30, the choice of boat for this fast-paced event that
combines in-port competition with multi-stage long-distance
offshore endurance races couldn’t be better because it delivers
on speed, performance and versatility.
The huge course area, which spans over four countries, provides
a variety of sailing conditions, with backdrops ranging from
remote desserts, to the huge high-rise metropolises of Dubai
and Abu Dhabi. While most of the areas around the coast are
charted some areas have limited data, which makes navigation
and tactical skills paramount. Navigating through an oil field at
night and passing from the Arabian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman through
the Strait of Hormuz, round the Musandam Peninsula where
mountains rise up 2,000 metres above sea level are just some
of the course highlights which make this event so unique, exciting
and unforgettable.
The seven stopover venues are carefully chosen to ensure
competitors experience a real taste of the rich cultural traditions
and sumptuous hospitality of the Middle East. Formula 1-style
prizegiving ceremonies and special VIP events after each stage
of the Tour – often in the presence of Royalty – provide plenty of
opportunity for the local community to showcase its heritage.
Given the nature of the Tour, which involves sailing from one
side of the Arabian Peninsula to the other, the logistics of
transferring kit, and the associated paperwork involved are
potentially complex. Thankfully, Oman Sail the organisers are able
to offer support and it does pay off to be well prepared.
Among those hoping to take part again in 2015 are Team Messe
al
hnic
TecBrief
Frankfurt – the young student team from Plymouth – headed by
Marcel Herrera who finished second overall to Sidney Gavignet
and team on EFG Bank (Monaco), and Team Delft Challenge –
TU Delft led by Kay Heemskerk who took third. Although amateur,
these young teams of students demonstrated how it is possible
to use the event as a platform not only to improve teamwork,
but also to perfect professional skills on and of the water to ensure
sponsors gain maximum exposure.
Herrera commenting on the event and how it provides the perfect
starting point for teams looking to make the transition into the
professional sailing world, said: “This event is ideal for teams
looking at making a name for themselves to emerge into the
professional yacht racing world. It is a great foundation to find and
introduce sponsors to the sport of sailing. Their expectations
will be surpassed allowing teams to obtain a gradual commitment
from commercial sponsors to support them on other campaigns
and races. It is also a great winter racing venue with consistent
and Grand Prix level conditions.”
David Graham, Oman Sail CEO believes that SATT has
put the Middle East on the map as a prime international
yachting location: He concluded: “The vision by Oman Sail
to develop the region’s sailing talent and reignite the rich maritime
heritage has become a reality. EFG Sailing Arabia - The Tour
offers an unrivalled opportunity to showcase the region as an
exceptional international race destination with its splendid
sailing conditions, and fascinating mix of ancient traditions and
modern sophistication.”

Seven boats done, dusted and delivered. On time, on weight and on budget
World cruise… plus perhaps visit superyacht regattas to use the J/Class as slalom gates?
The first of the mega-cool new Irens and Cabaret 78s
had a slow start but is now being finished in the USA.
Light and powerful for its size, for a fully fitted-out
cruising cat the performance will be breathtaking
