OneSails takes on the challenge of the 2024 Vendée Globe
OneSails is proud to participate once again in the Vendée Globe, bringing a new generation of cutting-edge and sustainable sails to the race. Following the success of the 2020-2021 edition, OneSails is represented in this edition by Conrad Colman on MS Amlin and Arnaud Boissières on La Mie Caline, both equipped with the brand’s latest technologies. Colman, the New Zealand navigator, has chosen a full set of 4T Forte 525-R sails, designed to ensure high performance and minimal environmental impact, while Boissières, the French navigator, has opted for a FR0, an asymmetric fractional sail for downwind sailing built with the same technology.
Kuka 3 Overall ORC Winners at the Middle Sea Race 2024
Kuka 3, owned by Franco Niggeler, claimed a stunning victory at the 45th edition of the Middle Sea Race, securing both the ORC overall scoreboard and class win. This year’s race proved to be quite the challenge, with the fleet facing two brutal storms packing winds over 50 knots, interspersed with stretches of frustrating calm.
A key factor in their success was the brand new full inventory of 4T FORTE Sails, which powered them through both the fierce gales and the windless lulls. On board, they had experienced OneSails sailors, including Samuele Nicoletti and Sandro Montefusco, whose expertise played a crucial role in managing the changing conditions.

Winners of the ORC European championship 2024!
The Sugar Sailing Team reconfirmed themselves as champions in the waters of Mariehamn, Åland, defending their title with determination in a tight championship until the last race.
Here is the comment of Simone Ferrarese, tactician on board:
“It was a close race until the end. The boat was always fast, making the tactics easier. With two non-discardable offshore races, the risk was high and in the last one we had some difficulties, so the last day was crucial. The guys did a great job and we managed to finish successfully. We are really happy to end the year like this and we are looking forward to next season.”
Italia 9.98/EST Sugar is equipped with a full set of Onesails sails with 4T FORTE™ technology for upwind sails. The innovative Onesails technology and the close collaboration between the team and Sandro Montefusco of Loft OneSails South Italy, has contributed to this sporting success. This year, the team chose to lengthen the bowsprit and increase the gennaker surface area (120 square metres instead of 110), improving performance for the entire inventory of downwind sails: AF0 girth 85%, A1, A2, A3

Ecoracer is Italian Sportboat Champion!
Ecoracer, the recyclable race boat prototype powered by OneSails 4T FORTE composite sails, opened the race season with a victory at the Italian Sportboat Championship. A winning both for the regatta and for the environment since the exclusive 4T FORTE developed by OneSails in 2013 are also the only recyclable sails on the market combining top performance with durability and sustainability. The Ecoracer is the fully recyclable sportboat made of sustainable materials. The valuable natural fibre reinforcements, sandwich cores and resin can be reused to produce new components. Compared to conventional glass fibres, flax fibres reduce the CO2 footprint of the composite from cradle to gate and don’t rely on fossil resources to produce the raw material. Instead, they sequester CO2 from the atmosphere during their growth and act as a natural CO2 sink during their entire lifetime. The designing team of Ecoracer consists of Matteo Polli, that took care of the water lines, Alessandro Pera and Mattia Sconocchia that dealt with the structures, Alessandro Stagni, engineer and Samuele Nicolettis, CEO of OneSails Nord Est Verona and Sail Designer. We are very proud and happy of the first victory and look forward to having more!
