Elvstrøm Sails Palma is a full-service certified Elvstrøm sail loft that offers a full program from new sail designs, new sails, sail repair, sail service to winter storage.
The sail loft in Palma, Mallorca is a subsidiary to the Danish Headquarters of Elvstrøm Sails in Denmark. The second largest sailmaker in the world and probably the oldest and largest of its kind in Europe.
The Palma sail loft is driven by Jesper Bank, Commercial Director, Olympic Medalist and America´s Cup Skipper together with Sales Rep and America´s Cup Chief Sail Maker, Tim Nielsen and Loft manager and sailmaker, Antonio Dominguez. A dynamic and very knowledgeable team backed up by the sail design and the production team at Elvstrøm Sails Headquarters in Denmark – and 65 years of legendary sailmaking.
Jesper explains; “In Palma we have a long track-record within the Superyacht business that crowns our experience within sail design, sail production and sail service. Elvstrøm Sails has more than 65 years of experience and a competitive edge in sail making with the patented EPEX Technology.
The Elvstrøm Palma team handles all sizes of yachts including superyachts. Being situated close to the marina, Elvstrøm Sails Palma offers to collect and deliver sails with short notice. “We are specialized in servicing customers in the Mediterranean whether you need a completely new sail wardrobe, additional sails to top your existing sail wardrobe or service and repair to get you moving on. If needed with repair overnight. We know that timing is crucial”, Jesper winds up.
A solid path
Looking at the portfolio of Elvstrøm Sails, one will see that the EPEX technology has been around since 2008. Jesper Bank explains; I am strong believer in a continuous evolution rather than revolution. As a company we have evolved extensively over the years and our products and technologies never cease to be refined. Since the birth of our EPEX technology, the concept has recently been taken further with continuous unbroken fibre layouts and advanced vacuum infusion technology in the film-fibre assembly process to eliminate any air pockets that can lead to delamination. That system is so advanced now that EPEX sails are guaranteed against failure by delamination for three years of use, which is much longer than the competitive life of most racing sails.”
A sustainable approach
It´s time to listen to nature! That is exactly what the Danish sail brand has committed to with it´s EKKO approach. “EKKO is about bringing a sustainable approach into products, processes and materials,” Marketing Manager, Lise-Lotte M Larsen explains. “With our Danish roots and with the leisure industry we thrive from, this is in fact the only natural response to the challenges, and an agenda we are committed to follow.”
