The Nautilus, an ocean nomad, is truly an incredible creature of the sea. Why choose the name “Nautilus” for a sailing company? It resonated with us for so many reasons ...
1. The Nautilus is a wanderer, traveling great distances as it explores ocean after ocean. Through each place it explores, it collects environmental particles which it uses to build its shell; the shell of a Nautilus, is a collection of its adventures, explorations and journeys.
2. Aristotle wrote about the Nautilus shell in his Historia Animalium (622BC), detailing how the female uses two membranes as sails, to catch ocean currents and glide through the waters of the world.
3. Each year the Nautilus shell builds a new chamber, seals off the old chamber, and then moves into the new chamber. Nothing like dwelling in the present and looking forward to the next adventure!
4. The shell of a Nautilus is mathematically perfect and is the ideal example of the Golden Ratio.
