For the owner who wishes to optimise the performance of his Cruiser for the occasional Race, but does not wish to change sails when the family are onboard White Sails have many options.

Performance Dacrons are available, but a woven fabric will eventually stretch leaving you back at square one!

The first option is a Tri-Radial Cruise Laminate, a Mylar Film with either Dacron or Pentex Yarns and a Taffeta covering both sides for longevity.

Double Taffeta Cruise Laminate is probably the most common laminate used for Performance Cruisers, providing tough Sails that would realistically provide great Performance for 5-6 years before requiring replacement.

Although commonly used the Cruise Laminate can be heavy and stiff to handle.

White Sails top option is for a Double Taffeta Membrane with a huge choice of Load Bearing Yarns to suit your requirements and Budget.

Previously only available for Racing, Membranes have now earned their right as Rugged Performance Sails, soft to handle and providing the same life as Tri-Radial Cruise Laminates, but due to theĀ  latest engineering Technology, much lighter and stronger than standard Cruise Laminates.

If you are looking for that extra Performance at competitive prices contact me with your requirements.
