Kayospruce has added to their GlowFast performance range of products for the race boat market; luminous draft camber stripes allow trimmers to see sail shapes throughout the night for optimum trim and can be fitted to either new or retrofitted to clean sails. Many offshore and round the world campaigns have used GlowFast camber stripes to great effect. With the illuminated stripes, boat speed is not compromised through the hours of darkness given best possible trimming ability without using the intermittent lightbeam of a flashlight or a torch. For those concerned that their identity or settings are on display to their nearest rivals, this is not the case, as the GlowFast properties are only visible up to just under 200m distance.
All GlowFast products in the range can be charged with just ten minutes of natural or torchlight, although under normal conditions, the ‘charge’ of daylight will provide up to 20 hours of visibiity. Luminous tell tale patches and rope clutch labels compliment the performance range, giving additional visual checks on trim, and on adjustment of further trimming control lines led through rope clutches.
From a safety point of view, non-skid tape is available again with GlowFast properties, so it can be applied to slippery surfaces such as a forehatch or deck windows, where crew are likely to tread during manoeuvres. This will allow them to see potentially dangerous areas.
