In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
Lionheart fitted Carbo-Link’s carbon standing rigging in April and has won both regattas sailed this year. She followed up her convincing win in Mahon, to win the J Class Superyacht Cup in Palma.
The rigging cables are smaller in diameter and the cable stiffnesses are considerably higher than the rigging used by the other J Class yachts competing.
The custom designed rigging package resulted in a low windage solution using internal diagonal terminations.
A fibre optic load sensor is incorporated in the headstay. The data produced has been useful to confirm design loads and analyse the load variation while sailing in waves.
Dr. Andy Winistörfer, CEO of Carbo-Link, spent several days leading up to both regattas with the Lionheart team providing technical input to optimise rig tune.
“It has been exciting to be part of a motivated team leading up to their second consecutive win. The team has been receptive to advanced ideas and technical concepts in order to achieve considerable performance gains”
By choosing Carbo-Link, Lionheart has joined a prestigious group of champions which includes the current winners of the Americas Cup, Louis Vuitton Cup, Volvo Ocean Race, Transat Jacques Vabre and the C Class World Championship.
Carbo-Link’s reputation for engineering excellence and Swiss manufacturing technology resulted in all four AC72 America’s Cup teams choosing Carbo-Link for their platform and Wing rigging, where performance and reliabiablity are paramount to success. .
Carbo-Link has been manufacturing and developing rigging since 2001.
In 2003 Carbo-Link supplied rigging to the Orma 60 Banque Covefi which became the first full carbon rigged yacht to race across the Atlantic Ocean.
