Sophisticated sails for offshore sailing and club racing yachts of up to 50 feet are made of this cruising laminate. One step up from traditional Dacron sails but just as easily handled. And these sails will hold their shape much longer, making them the choice for demanding cruising sailors.
At Rolly Tasker Sails, we have to date used more than 40.000 square metres of this advanced cruising laminate. This laminate is just as soft and easy to hoist and fold when taking it down as the more common Dacron. The difference lies in the way the sail will hold its profile as well as in the enhanced performance of your yacht.
This polyester cruising laminate is engineered by the cloth manufacturer Contender Sailcloth for durability and cruising performance. This incorporates an advanced adhesive for extended UV resistance and a robust additive for extra protection against mildew. Both of these properties ensure a trouble-free and uncomplicated day-to-day use of these sails as well as positively extending their life span. Combined with the enhanced performance given through the stability of shape, this is the perfect sail solution for the serious yacht owner.
The laminate is designed in a range of weights and strengths according to boat size up to 50 feet. These fabrics are optimized for each sail in terms of strength to weight to improve performance also in light winds as well as facilitate easy handling. This is further enhanced by the tri-radial with the sophisticated “step down” sail design, which uses heavier fabric weights in the high load areas such as the leech and keeping the sail lighter in low load areas.
The CDX Pro range of fabrics is designed around a variety of sub-assemblies with different weights of taffetas and a 500 denier polyester cross-ply. A polyester insertion is added to these assemblies to create a complementary range of modern sail laminates increasing in weight and strength.
Sails made from CDX Pro Laminate can be delivered either in cool grey or traditional white.
I have used several sails from Rolly Tasker and was always pleased with their construction and performance. Our main and jib for our Lagoon 440 Cat (tall rig) are well-constructed offshore capable sails. Excellent reinforcement and hand sewn chafe leathers. And the sails are priced well below many other options. 60,000 miles later, the mainsail has done its job. Probably could have gotten many more miles out of it if we didn’t sail quite so aggressively. We have had our cruising Cat at speeds in the mid to upper teens, with our top speed of 19.2 knots in 30+kts. I ordered the same sail again and can’t wait for it to arrive. The jib is still performing well, and I expect it will go another 10,000 miles.
Yesterday we went for a shake down sail with the new sails and they look great, we had perfect conditions for testing the staysail with a couple of 20 knot gusts. The only sail we did not try out was the new spinnaker as we decided to wait for lighter winds to try that for the first time. Everything fits perfectly, the sail shapes look fantastic. The sails are excellent, the mainsail particularly is a work of art and has a beautiful shape, so much better than the old one! Please can you pass on our heartfelt thanks to your team at the loft, they have made us some wonderful sails. Thank you very much. See us at YouTube
Having this new sail is totally changing the way that I sail. Reefing the old main was so annoying because the main was all dicey and blown out. So, I would fiddle around with headsails more but I only have three headsails so often I would be either underpowered or overpowered. Now I choose the headsail that most matches the conditions and then use reefing and un-reefing the main as a way to keep my boat balanced. And with this new main I can reef in about five minutes which is just a third of the time of changing a headsail… on this ocean passage I am doing a couple of reef changes of the mainsail every day and every time I do it I am just so grateful. https://www.youtube.com/@WindHippieSailing
