In addition to the usual hot and sunny weather, the Future Fibres Valencia production facility has been enjoying its busiest summer since records began.
The factory has been over capacity throughout the normally quieter months of July/Aug/Sept. Driving this exceptional summer rush has been demand for our latest composite rigging product set.
Future Fibres pioneered the use of composites for lateral rigging over ten years ago, providing a technological step change from the Grand Prix rigging solution of the day, Nitronic rod. This then set the bar for competitors who have gradually entered the market over the last five years with a variety of first generation composite rigging technologies.
With performance and innovation at the core of the business, Future Fibres has taken the lead and produced a new range of technologies that clearly raises the bar again for an all new, 2nd generation of high performance composite rigging. Mike Sanderson, two times winner of the Volvo Ocean Race, recently sailed on Bella Mente which won the 2011 Transpac with Future Fibres composite rigging:
"There is no question in my mind that the latest Future Fibres solid carbon rigging is the state of the art in the industry. Having just sailed with their brand new TSC carbon, I was super impressed. Any Grand Prix race team out there has to be seriously considering it."
And they are. Current high production volumes are not only being driven by top-end race teams gearing up for the AC, Volvo, TJV or Audi Medcup; long standing Future Fibres customers (e.g. the Farr 100, Leopard 3 and the Farr 115, Sojana) are also upgrading to the latest technology.
Stay ahead of the competition with 2nd generation composite rigging technology.
