Manufacturing of the Alinghi boats in 2003 and 2007.
In our collaboration with Team Alinghi, we have built the boats that won the America’s Cup in 2003 in Auckland and 2007 in Valencia. Conception and fabrication of a full size simulator of an America Class boat. Since 2005,it was the number one attraction on the Alinghi base in Valencia. This simulator was designed to duplicate the windward leg of a race course. The main functions are:
- True to life heeling angles
- Tacking

The input from the wheel and winches acts on the boat's parameters through a computer controlled mechanism.
