Project: Class40 - ocean racing
A retrofit part for offshore racing: the mast was 3D scanned, the winch base printed to match it exactly and laminated to take the loads of foresail handling. Six hundred grams, an hour and a half of printing, no mould.
The yacht lacked a winch at the mast, crucial for handling foresails in ocean racing.
A custom-fitted, durable, strong winch base for effective sail management.
A 3D scan of the mast was conducted to capture the precise geometry. Nugae then 3D-printed the winch base, followed by laminating the piece to enhance rigidity and resistance, ensuring it could handle significant loads.
Fast production, custom fit, mold-free, high strength-to-weight ratio, and sustainable material use. Easy resin and integration with existing structures.
