LOFTNETS, Ocean Fifty fleet supplier

The world of sailing, and Ocean Fifty racing in particular, relies not only on the skill of the sailors and the design of the boats, but also on the quality of the equipment used. Among the key suppliers who play a crucial role in this dynamic, LOFTNETS stands out as a prime specialist in catamaran nets.

Five out of the ten prestigious Ocean Fifty boats are now supplied by LOFTNETS:

• Solidaires en Peloton
• UpWind by MerConcept
• Primonial
• Le Rire Médecin Lamotte
• Inter Invest (Thibaut Vauchel-Camus's former trimaran - Solidaires en Peloton 2018-2023)
  

They are all currently preparing for Act 1 of the 2024 Ocean Fifty racing season (first confrontation from May 22 to 26, starting from the port of Bas Sablons in Saint-Malo).

High-quality nets for optimum performance

The Ocean Fifty are 15-meter trimarans, renowned for their speed and agility. For these boats, every component must be light, strong and high-performance. For many years, LOFTNETS has been supplying catamaran nets to racing teams and sailors all over the world.

The quality of our nets is the result of proven know-how and state-of-the-art technology. LOFTNETS nets are designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, offering optimum safety and performance.

As Act 1 approaches, the teams from Solidaires en Peloton (Thibaut Vauchel-Camus alongside the ARSEP foundation for multiple sclerosis research), Upwind by MerConcept (Francesca Clapcich and her 100% female crew), Primonial (Sébastien Rogues for Necker Hospital in Paris) and Le Rire Médecin Lamotte (Luke Berry for Le Rire Médecin nonprofit organization) are stepping up their preparations.

LOFTNETS will be keeping a close eye on their progress and wishes them all the best for the new 2024 season!
