Gottifredi Maffioli for the Black Pearl
Gottifredi Maffioli is glad to announce its partnership with The Pirates of the Caribbean team, official entry in the Volvo Ocean Race 2005/2006. The Italian rope manufacturer will supply all the running rigging of The Black Pearl, the boat inspired by the blockbuster Walt Disney Pictures'/Jerry Bruckheimer Film, "Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl". This entry includes an experienced and talented crew led by renowned skipper Paul Cayard. The famous round the world race, starts next 5th November from Vigo (Spain).
Over the years Gottifredi Maffioli has been deeply involved in all the major racing events with the worlds most famous teams. Constant innovation and close partnership with both teams and suppliers have always been the key to succeed and it has enabled Gottifredi Maffioli to be first in introducing new materials and new rigging solutions. This also proves to be the case for The Pirates of the Caribbean team during the coming Volvo Ocean Race, as The Black Pearl will take advantage of a range of innovative products developed by Gottifredi Maffioli for the occasion. Endurance is the key factor in a competition like the Volvo Ocean Race. Therefore it is not only important that these products are of the highest performance but also the highest longevity. In order to fulfil these expectations DSM Dyneema developed a new material in cooperation with Gottifredi Maffioli. "While keeping all the excellent qualities that made DyneemaŽ a premium choice for high performance running rigging the new DyneemaŽ SK 78 delivers a significantly better stability under static loads which results in better performance and longer life time under such extreme conditions" says Rolf van Beeck business manager sports at DSM Dyneema. Thanks to the partnership with Gottifredi Maffioli, which strongly believes in the great potential of The Pirates of the Caribbean team, The Black Pearl will be the first ever boat to benefit of the new products based on this innovative material, which will certainly give a consistent contribution to the rigging performance.
