All the designers at OneSails have access to a shared database, containing numerous sail designs spanning from the world champion Optimist sail to the one-piece Maxi yacht sails. The OneSails database contains construction and finishing details as well as photos of the sails flying. This database is crucial to OneSails being on the cutting edge of sail technology and it’s updated in real time, so we never skip a beat.
When developing the premier 4T Forte sail membrane technology, OneSails felt it crucial to make an Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) Database to mold and improve on 4T Forte over time, so the sails keep getting better. Fluid-Structure Interaction is a step beyond the more traditional aerodynamic analysis (CFD). FSI allows real-life simulation where all the factors affecting sail shape are taken into account. Rig and sail interaction, air flow characteristics, (attached, unattached, laminar, or turbulent), plus material deformation are considered.
OneSails, upon request, will also do individualized FSI studies suited to your needs. This guarantees our customers get only the best, and nothing is ever left to chance. Our central FSI Lab can also work in close contact with boat designers and riggers to achieve a fully integrated project where every element is harmonized to each other.
These sailors dedicate their time day by day to the unceasing development of One Sails’ technical excellence. With a Design Team like this, we can proudly say that we positively have the answers to all questions our customers may ever ask.

A career sailmaker since the late 70’s, John was trained by the innovative British sail designer Austin Farrar. He quickly established a strong following amongst competitive owners interested in handicap and one-design yacht racing, campaigned and won in a wide variety of dinghies, keelboats and yachts.
Wilf developed a career in Sail making and Design that started with a naval architecture course at Southampton University. Wilf now leads the design team navigating the complexities of aerodynamic performance and structural engineering from the simplest small Dacron crosscuts to the super maxi composite membrane sails.
Nathan matured a variety of talents in the marine industry with a strong focus on sail making and rigging. He has worked and raced on yachts ranging from maxis to small one design dinghies around the world and brings his knowledge, focus and experience to the forefront in developing new sail functions and systems to push the boundaries of sail making R&D and production
Sailor since 2001, he has raced in the Optimist, Equipe, 29er and 49er.
Graduated in mechanical engineering, specialising in aerodynamics since 2018, he has embarked on a career as a sailmaker, currently focusing on data analysis from sail design and engineering, research and development using FSI and photographic analysis.
I over 15 år har OneSails-designteamet utviklet eksklusive teknologier for å lage seil i ett stykke med kontinuerlig tråder for tur- og regattabåter.
Egenskaper som vekt, lett å trimme og høy bruddstyrke gir bedre ytelse sammenlignet med tradisjonelle panelseil.
Seilene er designet og produsert i henhold til de strengese krav og består av nøye utvalgte komponenter for å sikre høyeste kvalitet og holdbarhet. 4T FORTE™-membranene er kun laget i Italia. Hele produksjonsprosessen foregår i en spesialfabrikk som sikrer at alle nødvendige standarder oppfylles.
De beste seildesignene er et resultat av kontinuerlig analyse og erfaring. OneSails ligger i forkant i seilmakerbransjen og investerer kontinuerlig i forskning og utvikling for å sikre at vi har de aller beste designene. At denne metoden er vellykket, bevises av det store antallet titler som OneSails sine kunder har vunnet i nasjonale, internasjonale og verdensmesterskap.
En kjerneaktivitet for alle OneSails Loft er å tilby førsteklasses service, støtte og oppfølging. Som en del av vår serviceforpliktelse har hvert OneSails seilloft et team av eksperter som sørger for at vi kan innfri serviceløftet vårt. I tillegg til et økende antall hovedloft har OneSails Gruppen har et omfattende nettverk av serviceloft som er strategisk plassert langs hele verdens kystlinje.
