How do modern racing yachts maintain perfect sail shape under immense loads? It all comes down to the engineering behind composite membranes.

Welcome to another episode of this mini-series about Sail Design with OneSails’ Design Director, Flavio Formosa.

In this episode, we strip away the layers of advanced sail construction to look at how material layering, continuous structural fibers, and load distribution work together to maximize aerodynamic efficiency.

On deck with HAGAR V as the crew preps for the racing season.

New sails mean measuring hooks, calibrating batten tension, and mapping every speed mark. We’re not just checking halyard tension; we’re ensuring every setting is repeatable the moment the pressure is on.

This is the invisible grind: seating the hardware, tuning the luff, and dialing in the rig. Everything tuned. Everything ready.

New inventory is OneSails exclusive 4T FORTE technology.

We have Flavio back for episode two of our sail design mini-series.

As Head of Design for the entire OneSails network, he takes us deeper into two key concepts that are ultimately connected: how sails are engineered to retain their shape over time, and how designers make them easier for sailors to handle and fully exploit.

Have you ever considered how crucial these two factors are in a designer’s mindset?

What’s another question you’d like us to answer next?
