SEA EAGLE II “AIRBORNE”

Integrated Sailing System by Rondal

SEA EAGLE II’s three carbon composite masts comprise main, mizzen, fore and furling booms, which are styled and shaped to match the design of the yacht. The total area of the sails (by Doyle Sails) is distributed among the three masts providing the freedom of various sail configurations for various weather conditions.

The Panamax*) masts are designed for an optimal balance between strength, stiffness and weight, and are manufactured in carbon composite. An impressive feature is that each Rondal mast is built as one piece. This means that for 80% of the masts’ thickness, full length, uninterrupted carbon fibre laminates were applied, giving the mast unique properties with a perfectly even strength distribution – resulting in a beautiful even bend, so no ‘hard spots’.

*)  Panamax refers to the maximum dimensions of a ship permitted to pass the locks in the Panama Canal. The sailing world has coined the word Panamax to express the maximum air draft of an upright yacht’s mast in order that it may clear the Bridge of the America’s on the Pacific side of the Canal. At median low water this is around 62m / 205ft. 

A vital role was played by Rondal realizing the Integrated Sailing System for SEA EAGLE II. This unique approach delivers optimization of sailing components and systems through an expert process of design and engineering. This holistic approach leverages decades of superyacht experience, composite expertise and strong partnerships to realise the project with unrivalled ease of sail handling, quality and performance.

Rondal’s Integrated Sailing System consists of the three carbon Panamax masts with furling booms, hydraulic boomvangs, headsail furling systems, deck winches and equipment, captive winches and continuous solid carbon standing rigging by Carbo-Link, all equipped with load sensing capabilities.
