OS3 Performance Sails

The experience and knowledge of all these years pushed him to start a sports department at the Catamaran Toroneos Sailing Club in Perea-Thessaloniki, which until that time operated at an amateur level, with only adult boat owners, giving the opportunity to young children to get to know sailing through a catamaran.

Racing Sails

After the Olympic games, the new crew of K. Trigonis – I. Paschalidis is created and everything starts on a new basis.
It is agreed that the crew will run exclusively with “OS3” sails and start with only the mainsail and jib pending the change of the boat’s mast, since after this change the mainsails will have to be re-designed.
