RELIABILITY
THE OVERLOOKED KEY TO WINNING
In high-performance sailing, the fastest boat doesn’t always win—the most reliable one does. From America’s Cup campaigns ending in structural failure to offshore yachts retiring mid-race, history is full of moments where overlooked engineering flaws changed the outcome.
The recent success of Ineos Britannia in the Louis Vuitton Cup highlighted a growing truth: reliability is a performance advantage. While others struggle with setbacks, those who prioritize structural integrity continue racing and improving.
Today, the demand for structural verification is higher than ever. Teams, shipyards, and owners recognize that composite structures have evolved faster than regulations.
While governing bodies provide general guidelines, they often lack the expertise to rigorously assess modern materials and engineering methods. This leaves a critical gap that must be addressed by specialists with the right tools and experience and we see an increased demand for this recently.
With advancements in finite element analysis, composite material science, and testing, we now have the ability to eliminate uncertainty.
To boat builders, naval architects, owners, think about it for your next project.
