Product variants
Due to the modular design, we adapt the FLINsail optimally to your individual energy consumption. Even with two solar modules, the FLINsail supplies the classic consumers of a 30-foot yacht with sufficient energy. In the maximum version with six solar modules, for example, an electric motor or an electric stove can be operated self-sufficiently.
Maximum protection and easy transportation with the FLINbag
Every FLINsail is supplied with our FLINbag, which ensures that it fits snugly and safely. The padded bag not only offers optimum protection while sailing, but also makes it easier to set up the FLINsail. Simply attached to the main boom, the FLINsail can be removed from a lazy bag like a mainsail. Discover the convenient and safe solution for transporting and storing your solar modules.

No unthreading of the mainsail thanks to the FLIN mast sliders
The solar modules are clicked into the mast slot above the mainsail using the special FLIN mast sliders and can be hoisted like a sail. This means that the mainsail does not have to be unthreaded from the slot or the T-rail.
Efficiency through alignable solar modules
Due to the slide bearings used, it is possible to align the FLINsail with the guide lines optimally to the sun. This increases the efficiency of the system and guarantees sufficient energy yield even when the sun is low in the sky.
FLIN quality
Our solar modules offer first-class efficiency with low weight, high stability and durability thanks to innovative technology.
The solar cells in our solar modules are connected redundantly using multi-busbar technology. The high number of electrical contacts results in lower loads on the individual conductors.
In addition, the solar cells are protected by embedding them in composite layers. The ETFE coating protects the module from the weather and salt water. Despite its flexibility, this ensures high stability, durability and a long service life.
In our tensioned solar systems (FLINsail+, FLINkite+), the cables are also sheathed with Dyneema fibers. This offers optimum protection even under extreme conditions.
We endeavor to source the components for our solar systems in Germany or Europe. Thanks to our own development, production, assembly and testing of each product, we can guarantee high quality and therefore a reliable power supply for your on-board electrical system.
Frequently asked questions

During sailing, the FLINsail is stowed in the FLIN bag and stored in a suitable place, e.g. below deck. In calm conditions or at anchor, the FLINsail is set above the hauled-in mainsail.
No. The FLIN mast sliders can be inserted into the mast slot above the mainsail. If your mast is equipped with a T-rail, we supply matching mast sliders to be placed on top.
You can find more information about our mast sliders here.
The light version does not require stiffening with a frame. It is therefore slightly cheaper and also very light. If the FLINsail is also to be used in strong winds, we recommend the 2M FLINSail tough.
With the FLINsails from three modules, the upper and lower solar module is stiffened in each case.
The FLINsail can be stored in the FLINbag below deck or in a back box. The stiffened and padded FLINbag protects the solar panels during storage.
Yes, a charge controller and a matching connector to the FLINsail are required. You can find a suitable charge controller for your FLIN product here. We are happy to advise you and offer a charge controller and a connector for your FLINsail.
The FLINsail is a plug & play system. Therefore, in order to use the FLINsail, no design changes need to be made to the sailing yacht. If it is used, the cables can be laid flying through the companionway or a hatch. Alternatively, a fixed socket at the base of the mast can be used as a deck grommet.
Most mast profiles, which are designed for a furling mainsail, have a second mast groove in which the FLINsail can be placed.
