SANTIAGO, Chile, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With the look, feel, and design of a traditional black notebook, the Cape Horn notebook reimagines used sails from the world's most epic sailing expeditions as the ultimate storytelling tool.

The notebooks, which contain fragments of a sails that have traveled all the way to the southernmost tip of South America, aim to inject the dynamism of life at sea into everyday life.

Designed in the southernmost tip of South America, Cape Horn handmade notebooks help you keep a log of your best and wildest ideas. The unique fragments on their covers come from sails that have traveled thousands of miles on the open sea, and were made of the most innovative fibers. It is a hard cover, ruled notebook, 240 Pages. 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.3 inches. Each thread-bound book opens flat and contains a gusseted pocket for sheets, page marker made of sailing rope, and elastic enclosure band.

"Cape Horn is the Mount Everest for sailors. Belongs to the Chilean territory. For decades, it has been a major milestone for sailors around the world. We honor the brave men and women that defy their limits for big adventures. We Know that sailors are really proud to be sailors, that passion that sailor has over the sea is our guide; we like to tell those stories through simple and high quality products, that represent the spirit of sailing." *Antonia Undurraga

Designed and created by Chilean designer Antonia Undurraga, herself an avid sailor, the notebooks merge two diverse industries - sailing and paper goods - into one product. While a myriad of bags, blankets, and clothing items have been developed using recycled sails, few products venture to create items that serve a purpose completely unique from the sails themselves.

The notebooks reference the stories that come out of life's greatest adventurers. Cape Horn, which lies on the southernmost tip of South America where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans collide, is considered one of the most challenging journeys for a sailor. "These notebooks aim to bring that same sense of adventure and pride into our everyday lives, whether that be in an office or at sea," she said.

"My hope is that the Cape Horn notebook will be a catalyst to tell those stories, whether it be as a journal or as a cool conversation starter. These notebooks should make you feel proud to be a sailor," she said.

The Cape Horn Notebooks are available on Amazon, the Cape Horn official store:

Cape Horn was founded by Chilean designer and avid sailor Antonia Undurraga with the goal of giving sailors a tool to find inspiration both on land and at sea. Each notebook is made from the sales of different racing yachts that have made the arduous journey to the southernmost tip of South America, making each notebook distinct from the next.
