Solico, the leading composite engineering specialist for the Maritime, Defense, Architecture, and Industrial sectors, apprised of its latest marine collaboration with Aeolos Composites, having engineered the new Aeolos Performance 30, a striking new all carbon 30-foot sailing yacht built in the Middle East.

The Aeolos Performance 30 (P30) is a lightweight carbon racing yacht, optimized for single and double handed sailing that was conceived by Aeolos Composites’ founder Hans Genthe during the Covid-19 lockdown in Dubai in summer 2020. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the project was completed entirely remotely. Carbon fiber materials were a key part of the P30 design concept, minimizing weight and producing a simple, light, and fast yacht. One of the novel features of the P30 is the cleverly hinged carbon fiber bowsprit that allows bows to mooring in European marinas that do not permit a bowsprit over the dock.

With P30 hull #1 finished and painted, fit out underway and the yacht due to hit the water in the very near future, the Solico team will be eagerly awaiting feedback from the first sea trials in Dubai. Several more P30’s are already in build with Aeolos Composites looking forward to expanding the class both locally in the UAE as well as in Europe.

Solico will be exhibiting at METSTRADE 2021 starting on the 16th of November in Amsterdam. The specialist engineering team will be available on stand EF.315 for all maritime composite engineering requirements.
