Il Glide Free Foiling Kit per Laser nominato ai Design Award METS (DAME)

Il METS è la più grande fiera al mondo di attrezzature, materiali e sistemi per l’industria della nautica da diporto. Costruttori di accessori, progettisti, cantieri, distributori, rivenditori, grossisti si incontrano ad Amsterdam dal 18 al 20 novembre 2014. Per il 2014 lo spazio espositivo è al completo, con oltre 1.320 espositori, di cui oltre 200 nuove aziende a livello mondiale.

In questo contesto si tiene il Design Award METS (DAME), un premio che viene assegnato da una giuria selezionata di esperti a coloro che hanno presentato i prodotti più innovativi.

Tra i nominati l’australiana Glide Free Design, nominata per i Glide Free Foiling Kit, un set composto da una deriva dotata di foil e di un timone oppurtunamente disegnati per trasformare il Laser da una deriva planante a una deriva volante (senza modificare in alcun modo lo scafo). Il tutto venduto in Italia al prezzo di 3.900 Euro su www.negrinautica.com
