The new Ocean Fifty class Primonial Sailing Team - Sébastien Rogues equipped with Ocean Data System solutions
PRIMONIAL, skippered by Sébastien ROGUES, was recently launched.
The skipper opted for the UpSideUp for added safety, as well as TensEazy load sensors to monitor rig loads.
Among the equipment on board was the TensEazy eSense.KF12 instrumented furler, the result of our collaboration with the Karver Sailing design office.
Thanks to the team for their confidence.

Project led by Jean-Louis Etienne.
Perseverance was specially built for the Polar POD expedition.
It offers you the unique chance to board a ship built for adventure and science.
Ecotourism voyages aboard a mythical sailing ship that will accompany the greatest and boldest ocean exploration of modern times.
With Perseverance, adventure will speak to you. Whether she's whispering or shouting, her voice will be irresistible! Eco-designed to reduce environmental impact, Persévérance offers you ethical voyages committed to preserving ecosystems.
The Piriou shipyards have decided to entrust part of the boat's instrumentation to Ocean Data System.

MAXI SOLO BANQUE POPULAIRE IX
The Maxi Solo Banque Populaire IX is a trimaran belonging to the Ultim 32/23 category. The architect VPLP and the Banque Populaire Team have used their shared knowledge of the maxi multihulls to design a flying boat, powered by its foils and coming from future times. Ocean Data System has again modestly contributed to that true concentrate of technology.
The UpSideUp solution is of course an significant tool to secure both man and equipment. It also brings great satisfaction to manage the trimaran 's performance.
Monitoring, flooding detection, man over board management, anti capsize and strength control are the well estalished specifications of UpSideUp set up for the Ultim trimarans.
CIELA VILLAGE - Trimaran Multi 50'
This is the first one of that new generation of multi50 trimarans to be equiped of monotype foils system. She keeps all her promises in terms of performance, sea keeping qualities and versatility.
But those type of boats remain very capricious and unstable. That is why it is essential to bring more and more security on board. Thierry bouchard trusts in our UpSideUp solution to deal with anti-capsize and heeling limiter thanks to automatic pilote.
And it is also a great benefit for performance and serenity of the skipper during solo sailing.
WILDLING - Outremer 5X, 2016
During his stop over in France, Doug Hibberd has chosen Ocean Data System to equipped his Outremer 5X WILDLING with a complete UpSideUp solution : UpSideUp Master central unit, 1 TEPSS T20RLC for remote release and measurement of the strain on the main sheet rope + 4 BCam for foresails remote release, and also the MOB function using automatic release of the Jonbuoy. Additional options such as management of shallows and wind gusts have also been installed.
That is the most recommanded configuration especially for sailing with family on board.
Do not hesitate to have a look on the remarkable blog of Doug Hibberd.
SEAIR, 2016
