FLORANCE Loft


Oorspronkelijk bundelde de talenten Marco Holm, Davide Innocenti en Gianni Benassai hun krachten en richtte in 1980 een loft op. Zij werden de Italiaanse tak van de Amerikaanse groep "Horizon".

Na slechts 5 jaar is de loft lid geworden van het UK zeilmakers groep, een merk wereldwijd bekend. Onderzoek en ontwikkeling van nieuwe technologieën begon kort daarna in de vorm van de uitvinding van Tape Drive in 1984 het eerste zeil in de wereld met continue vezels georiënteerd volgens de drukverdeling van de zeilen. UK Italie;, nu OneSails heeft in alle zeeen en op alle belangrijke wedstrijden (IOR, IRC, IMS, enz.) successen behaald als gevolg van haar passie voor competitie en een samenwerking met de meest getalenteerde zeilers in de wereld namen zoals Vascotto, Chieffi, Semeraro, Bertrand, Passoni, Kolius en Pelaschier.

Technologie en innovatie zijn de doelstellingen van de 3 loft eigenaren, en de samenwerking met ICAD en de Faculteit van de Universiteit van Florence is een natuurlijk gevolg, waardoor de loft gebruik kan maken van de meest geavanceerde vloeistof-dynamicssoftware. Het hoogtepunt van intensieve onderzoek was het winnen van de Admirals Cup door team Merit.
