the Cloth, sails are made of
DIMENSION-POLYANT’s HydraNet® radial styles combine the durability of a woven polyester base with a ripstop of Spectra®/Dyneema®. The resulting fabric is higher in tear strength and, combined with the strength of the ripstop, stronger over the life of the sail than any woven polyester. A bonus of the woven polyester construction is a breathable platform that minimizes the damp environment that triggers mildew growth. A tight weave gives HydraNet® radial its superior shape retention; the fabric also has a soft working “hand.” For the sailmaker, design targets that were possible only with laminates can now be achieved with HydraNet® radial. The range of HydraNet® radial styles is designed for step-up construction, and the wide 54”/137cm width makes for efficient nesting of radial panels.
