Composite
Performance Cruising Composite Mainsails
 For those who demand the very best sail shape possible in a mainsail engineered to go around the world. Composite materials and sophisticated tri radial construction provide initial performance comparable to pure racing mainsails combined with a dramatically improved shape-life in comparison to cross cut configurations. Structural durability is absolutely not compromised. Standard batten structure includes a full-length top batten, though additional full length battens can be added for additional structure and durability. Non-full length battens are 60% of the sail's girth measurement at the batten locations. All four tapered glass battens are aligned parallel to the foot for easy sail handling and compatibility with sail handling systems. Composites of polyester, Pentex®, Spectra®, Vectran®, or other high modulus materials are used for exceptional shape-holding. Mainsail shape features a smooth, flat aerodynamic profile for optimum upwind performance, with an open trailing edge to reduce heeling and weather helm. The shape allows sailing into a higher range of wind conditions before reefing becomes necessary. Panel layout and materials limit stretch to minimize heel and help maintain control in breeze. Quantum Tri Radial mainsails are built to take on the most ambitious sailing plans with ultra wide horizontal seams joined with a combination of adhesives and triple-throw stitching, oversized teardrop shaped corner reinforcements, reef belts, extra layering, a unique batten pocket system, webbing and proper reinforcement throughout. Every construction detail is executed to the highest possible standards. No expense is spared. |
