Gottifredi Maffioli, a historic Italian company and leader in the production of high-performance nautical ropes, will be present at the Genoa Boat Show 2024, Stand SS10 – Sailing World – from 19 to 24 September. The Show represents an important stage for exhibitors, with almost 120,000 visitors expected to discover the latest innovations and trends in the maritime sector.
For Gottifredi Maffioli, which this year celebrates the 70th anniversary of the conquest of K2 with its ropes, the Genoa Boat Show is the perfect opportunity to share the work of its research and development team with fans and partners. In fact, the company’s new products will be presented, adding to the range used by the most prestigious boats in the world.
New Gottifredi Maffioli products
In the cruising sector, the new version of the Easycruise will be presented, which brings together the former Easytech and Silvertech in a single product: thanks to its ultralight soul, it is the optimal solution for those looking for easy manoeuvrability and excellent load-bearing capacity to carry out their cruising safely.
The Flashline is designed for those who like to moor in roadsteads and is the ideal solution when you need to take a line ashore: it offers lightness, buoyancy, resistance and high visibility thanks to its reflective lights that make it easy to see at night. At the same time, the Maxifloat has similar buoyancy and visibility characteristics to the Flashline, but with great elasticity, making it perfect for mooring.
Thanks to the collaboration with the athletes of our Olympic team, the products developed in the last Olympic cycle are now in the catalogue, in particular the new smaller diameters of TD99 and Race DYCO99, as well as the DSK socks for diameters below 4mm. These products are aimed at the world of high performance dinghies and foiling boats.
A new Optimist sheet, the Kappa2 Optisheet, has been created for the little ones: with graphics inspired by the ropes that took the Italian expedition to the summit of K2, and a structure designed to withstand the latest aggressive pulleys. This product is available in both constant diameter and tapered versions for the most demanding athletes.
Gottifredi Maffioli will announce partnership with Ogyre
In this context, Gottifredi Maffioli will officially announce its partnership with Ogyre, a B Corp dedicated to protecting the oceans.

To mark the occasion, the company will host two sailing champions and a number of Ogyre representatives at its stand, offering visitors a unique experience to learn more about protecting the marine environment.
The programme of events includes:

This partnership with Ogyre represents a further step in Gottifredi Maffioli’s mission to combine performance excellence with environmental responsibility, and demonstrates how the marine industry can play an active role in protecting the oceans.
