AWP system brings major benefits: increased performance, easier practice and longer lifetime for large sails
- The performance comes from a better airfoil shape which is thick and asymmetric: we compare to the best soft sails on the market.
- Unlike a soft sail the wingsail is semi-rigid and allows easier exploitation and handling: for example the wingsail folds in complete autonomy on the folding lines determined during its design.
- The wingsail doesn’t flap which means less fatigue of the components and less stress for sailors.
