DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

• Technora Lamminate sail cloth (tech details below)
• Twin Cam power
• Tighter, firmer leech // For better attachment to light winds
• Smooth, Responsive leech tension
• Deep cam shape for early planing
• Triangulated load bearing panel layout // Gives the best strength to weight ratio

 Technora Laminate:  Built on a fiber that is weight for weight 8 times stronger then steel!

Technora® is an para-aramid fiber characterized by relatively rigid polymer chains of relatively low molecular weight linked by strong hydrogen bonds that transfer mechanical stress. With a strength ratio 3 times stronger then monofilm, Technora® sailcloth enables Gaastra to reduce weight aloft, while radically increasing stretch resistance.  Locked solid, even the biggest gusts won't distort your sail shape.  Worried about durability of this space age material?  Rest assured Technora® has been chosen very carefully chosen by the Gaastra development team.  Originally proven by the most high tech yachts on the planet, Technora® sailcloth is a step up from most in the aramid family, as it shows little loss of strength even after cyclical flexing and stretching.  Simply put, no other fiber in the marketplace has such a perfect balance of durability and low-stretch, lightweight performance.
