Zephir Project is redefining high-performance sailing by combining speed, sustainability, and cutting-edge engineering.
Co-founded by industrial innovation expert Marc Amerigo and 26-time world champion windsurfer Antoine Albeau, the project is breaking new ground in eco-friendly marine mobility and record-breaking sailing technology.
A crucial factor behind Zephir Project's approach is the evaluation of TeXtreme®, an advanced composite material that provides an unmatched balance of strength and lightness. The project explores the potential of TeXtreme® configurations that optimize structural integrity, weight efficiency, and mechanical performance. Among these, the 0/90 Spread Tow Carbon Fabrics stand out for their ability to eliminate crimping, ensuring superior fiber alignment and refined load distribution.
For applications requiring exceptional torsional rigidity, the +/- 45 biaxial Spread Tow fabric enhances resistance to twisting forces while maintaining lightweight construction. In parallel, the Gapped UD variant offers an innovative solution for resin infusion, creating efficient resin pathways that improve wet-out and structural stability without adding excess material.
Integrating TeXtreme® into hydrofoils, fins, and other critical components unlocks the potential to achieve significant weight reduction while preserving the structural strength needed for extreme speeds. The Spread Tow technology minimizes unnecessary resin, reducing weight while increasing stiffness, contributing to greater energy absorption, impact resistance, and long-term durability. These advancements position Zephir Project at the forefront of next-generation high-speed sailing.
Marc Amerigo s previous work with TeXtreme® played a key role in Eric Barone s world-record mountain bike speed achievement. The development of an aerodynamically optimized fairing, utilizing TeXtreme® composites, enabled Barone to reach an unbeaten 227.72 km/h in 2017. This world record demonstrated TeXtreme® s superior strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to withstand extreme forces while delivering peak performance. The same technology now positions Zephir Project to push the boundaries of high-speed sailing.
Zephir Project continues to refine and develop new prototypes while keeping innovation and sustainability at the core. The evaluation of TeXtreme® advanced composite technology highlights its potential to enhance speed and durability while contributing to a more energy-efficient and sustainable future for high-performance sailing.
Harnessing the benefits of TeXtreme®, Zephir Project is positioned to set a new benchmark in competitive sailing. This collaboration highlights how TeXtreme®'s game-changing solutions are shaping the future of performance-driven industries. Companies looking to push the limits of their own designs will find TeXtreme® to be the ultimate material for achieving groundbreaking results.
