SOFTSTEP + MWSS
This is a new concept.
In addition to increasing comfort, this maststep incorporates a safety system for working on board.
Produced using 3D printing in Titanium Ti6Al4V by Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
Safety and comfort when working on the mast are essential for safe sailing.
The need to access the mast’s vertical section for cleaning or repairs is essential for safe navigation. A maststep should be more than just a step, it should be a comfortable and secure workstation. Current maststep sare uncomfortable and fragile, making it nearly impossible to stand on the mast for extended periods and increasing the risk of falling from height.
A product that delivers comfort in use, offering dual functionality while blending seamlessly with the sleek lines of high-end yachts.
Comfortable, lightweight, and built to last a lifetime.
More than just a step, it’s a workstation.
CLIP RING
Sometimes, the complexity of current standard sail fastening systems for hooking and unhooking makes the task challenging, where safety can be compromised.In addition, not all sail fastening systems are compatible with every rigging setup, nor can they be used in all corners of the sails.
Sail fastening maneuvers sometimes need to be performed at high speed, but must also be done correctly, as mistakes can lead to failure.
In addition, there are compatibility issues between the different systems for attaching sails to ropes.
• Designed for high-level competitions where agility and safety are paramount.
• Replaces the entire fastening system by concentrating it into a single element.
• Different models available for different sails:
▪ Titanium model
▪ Reinforced carbon model
▪ Recycled plastic model (for lightweight spinnakers)
The concept arises from the similarity between the elements used in sailing maneuvers and the requirements of mountain climbing:
• Lightweight necessity:Every gram counts.
• Intuitive, fast, and simple elements:Time is a valuable resource.
• Reliability:Often, lives depend on it—the rope “cannot come undone.”
• High-load ropes and fittingsare used with very high safety factors.
SAIL PROTECTOR
The sudden change in the sail’s position, when exceeding the deck limits, can exert constant and/or variable pressures (and/or impact forces) on the safety line and/or rigging, causing wear and potential tears in the sail.
Most products on the market do not provide a 100% effective or reliable solution, as they are not fixed to the cable and are often of low manufacturing quality.
THE SOLUTION
Rotating sail protector for rigging and lifelines, with a hidden central fixation and rotation axis.
• For recreational and/or competitive use on yachts and superyachts.
• Different models adapt to any diameter, from 4 mm up to 60 mm and beyond.
• Ideal for any forward sail: jibs, spinnakers, gennakers, staysails, and stay or backstay sails.
TUVR! Proyect
This was an independent venture I undertook alongside another designer and personal friend, Sebastián Carlotto. The project aimed to bring virtual reality (VR) technology to the Argentine market and customize it as a marketing tool for businesses.
The first phase involved designing and producing cardboard VR glasses using regional materials and technologies, with the goal of distributing them nationwide.
We sought to differentiate ourselves from the competition by price and uniqueness, adding value to the product with a focus on comfort and aesthetics.
The second phase aimed to offer VR services by partnering with other entrepreneurs in graphic design, web development, and game programming, as well as with businesspeople in the advertising sector.
Through the production of 3D (Side-by-side) and 360º videos as innovative advertising formats and integrated marketing campaigns, we sought to introduce VR technology into the market and discover new potential applications.
