Foolproof responsiveness
In the nautical industry, and more particularly in ocean racing, every detail counts. The quest for performance and lightness imposes increasingly demanding technical requirements, while design, installation and maintenance deadlines are often extremely tight.
Your satisfaction is our priority.
We understand the challenges of a project where skippers, préparateurs, engineers, sailmakers, equipment suppliers and architects all work together. Speed of response is often essential.
Whether you’re an Imoca competitor, a Class40 team or a yachtsman, we follow each project closely.
Our commitments:
Tailor-made solutions
Every sailboat, every sailing program and every skipper is unique.
At DEN-RAN, we understand this and adopt a 100% personalized approach.
Our teams carefully study the techniques, objectives and expectations of each project.
In collaboration with our customers, we design tailor-made solutions, perfectly adapted to their needs.
We analyze your mast configuration, the loads exerted on your cables and ropes, as well as your sailing program, in order to propose a tailor-made solution.
For example, our designs take into account the ergonomics of maneuvering and weight optimization.
Our tensile test bench enables us to subject our textile ropes to rigorous tests.
This enables us to measure resistance and workload, and to gather a wealth of data for future performance.
Your project is unique, so are our solutions.
Whether you’re planning a round-the-world trip, a transatlantic race or coastal sailing, we’ll make sure your rig is perfectly tailored to your needs.
