Ubi Maior Sail Blocks

UBI MAIOR ITALIA offers three complete ranges of sail blocks: YC (Yacht Club), RT (Regata), and X3M (Extreme Flight). Each block is CNC-machined from 6082T6 aluminum alloy and anodized for corrosion resistance. The sheaves are made from Delrin or Torlon for low-friction rolling, with oversized ball bearings for lateral load absorption. Blocks in the YC series are designed for cruisers, combining high load capacity and reliability, while RT blocks cater to racing yachts with high-strength Torlon roller bearings. The X3M line features lightweight, high-load blocks with 3D-printed nylon bodies and Dyneema loops, awarded for their design and performance.

Structural Ubi Maior Jib Furlers

The JIBER structural jib furler eliminates the need for aluminum foils, using a rod forestay that rotates to furl the sail. Components are machined from 6082T6 aluminum and feature Torlon ball bearings for smooth operation under load. The system reduces weight by up to 30 kg compared to traditional furlers, enhancing upwind performance and allowing for larger sails. The JIBER-TX version supports composite and textile forestays, offering a lightweight alternative with reduced drag.

Head Sail Furlers

The FR Furlers line includes models for code zero and gennaker sails, with aluminum drums and cylindrical roller thrust bearings for optimal load distribution. The RE2WIND furler incorporates a patented ratchet system that prevents accidental sail deployment during furling. The drum guards are 3D-printed from nylon, ensuring durability and shock absorption. Models like the FR250H handle loads up to 26,000 kg, with optional 2:1 and 3:1 block attachments for high-load applications.

Complementary Deck Equipment

UBI MAIOR ITALIA produces a variety of rigging accessories, including aluminum padeyes (fixed, soft, and flush deck versions), halyard blocks, and crossover blocks. These components are made from anodized 6082T6 aluminum with Delrin sheaves, providing high load capacity and minimal friction. The halyard blocks support 2:1 purchases, reducing halyard loads and mast compression.

Ubi Maior Mooring Hardware

The mooring range includes pop-up cleats and fairleads, available in anodized aluminum or stainless steel. The cleats are customizable with boat logos, while fairleads are designed for efficient line handling during mooring operations.

Ubi Maior Accessories for Sailmakers

UBI MAIOR ITALIA offers batten receptacles in anodized aluminum, available in adjustable and fixed versions, with threaded fittings for secure installation. Custom products, including sail headboards and bespoke rigging components, are produced on demand, with options for color customization and laser-engraved logos.

Custom Products and Projects

UBI MAIOR ITALIA provides custom deck hardware solutions, from one-off designs to small production runs. Its in-house production facilities enable rapid prototyping and tailored solutions, meeting the specific needs of individual yachts and racing teams.

Automatic Modular Locks

As the distributor of ALPHALOCK products, UBI MAIOR ITALIA offers automatic modular locks for halyards and reef lines. These locks are designed for high loads, with models handling up to 12,000 kg. The Alphalock Gaff Car allows for automatic locking at the masthead and reef points, simplifying sail handling on square-top mainsails.

UBI MAIOR ITALIA utilizes CNC machining for all structural components, ensuring precision and strength. Materials include 6082T6 aluminum, titanium Grade 5 for sheaves and rollers, and Delrin and Torlon for bearings. The X-Bearing system, used in furlers and blocks, minimizes friction while maximizing load capacity. The company's use of 3D printing for nylon components enhances design flexibility and reduces weight, while its patented ratchet systems and Dyneema loop integrations demonstrate a commitment to innovation and performance.
