Performance Sails

Construction specifications

Designed for Performance oriented sailors

BOAT SIZE - ALL

The Rolly Tasker Performance Sails range is designed for performance orientated sailors who want to participate in racing as well as cruising.

Performance - LITE SKIN®

Rolly Tasker Sails is proud to introduce a new Lite Skin® range of fabrics suited for performance sailing which offer excellent value for money.

Being crosscut, they hold shape through the broadseams and have less seams thus ensuring durability and shape holding. The addition of Dimension-Polyant Lite Skin® outer layers protects the film, reduces film shrink over time, offers less water absorption than a traditional taffeta and provides increased chafe protection compared to film-only laminates. The external layer is coated with UVt®, DP’s proprietary UV and anti-microbial finish to increase UV protection while deterring mildew growth. The Heavy version for boats up to 40′ is constructed from an aramid scrim for reduced material stretch.

Performance - CDX PRO® - COOL GREY

Our CDX Pro Polyester Cruising laminates made with ZigZag yarn technology enable you to have a sail made out of radial panels that matches the modern rigging of your yacht. The yarns in ZigZag reinforced laminates are laid at angles such that the forces in the sail are distributed evenly over the radial panels. This results in a sail with excellent ability to retain its shape, giving you more efficient sailing in varying wind strengths, without impacting on the ease of handling of your sail.
