Wally and Omer Wing Sail introduce the WOW Sail, the wing sail technology for cruising yachts that offers unprecedented advantages: high performance in terms of boat speed and heading angles; ease of handling by one person only, whatever its dimension is; lowering and reefing characteristics; reducing and simplifying the boat structures thus improving the interiors; simple, safe and reliable.
The WOW Sail system is simple: it includes a free-standing, rotating carbon fibre mast with carbon fibre frames that hold the fully battened 3DL sail cloth, and is manoeuvred by a hydraulic ram with push button control to change the profile of the wing, and by a sheet to trim the sail.
The WOW Sail increases the performance by 10-30 per cent in any condition, depending on the displacement of the yacht: the lighter the boat is, the more efficient the wing sail is.
The high performance is combined with easy sailing characteristics: one person can handle the huge wing of a yacht like the Wally 130.
The WOW Sail keeps its shape longer, and it lasts longer than traditional sails because it never slams.
The WOW Sail is patented worldwide to protect this innovative technology.
