Every Balea is born from a real sail. The cloth defines its character: weight, stiffness and the marks of its life aboard.
The material
Cloth that already worked the sea and is built to last.
Every Balea is born from a real sail. The cloth defines its character: the weight of dacron, the stiffness of laminate, the marks of its life aboard. No material is made for us — everything is recovered.

What already sailed
Vela de dacron
Poliéster tejido de alta tenacidad, el paño clásico de las velas de crucero. Ligero, estable y muy resistente a la abrasión: en tierra es casi indestructible.
Vela laminada
Capas de film y fibra técnicas pensadas para regata. Más rígida y ligera que el dacron, con una translucidez y unas marcas que hacen cada panel irrepetible.
Cabo náutico
Cuerda de uso marino real en asas y detalles: la misma que trabaja en cubierta, elegida por su resistencia y su tacto.
The patina
The marks stay
A careful hand wash removes the salt and keeps the patina. Numbers, patches and original seams are not defects: they are each piece's certificate of authenticity — proof that your Balea already lived a first life.
