The idea of building storm sails to carry out their work in the worst conditions is one we do not take lightly. We have learned through the harsh realities of heavy weather sailing, the important aspects of construction and use of these sails.
To start: the O.R.C. required maximum areas for the storm jib (.05 IG 2 ) and the storm trysail (.175 (P*E)) produce sails that are too large in area for safe sailing in worst case scenarios. As a company policy we make our storm sails 25-30% smaller than these maximum areas. We utilize the very best in Challenge and Contender woven Dacron fabric for these sails and offer an International Distress Orange fabric as well. This is now required for offshore racing, but is not required for non-racers.

The MP-G brings the cruising yachtsman a purpose-designed and proven option for sailing in light airs. The design incorporates a bi-radial construction, making full use of the strong warp characteristics of top quality nylon for maximum strength and retention of shape.
The MP-G is designed for use in light to medium airs (0 -12 knots) and apparent wind angles of 30 - 90 degrees. It improves light air performance and compliments the small inventory of the cruising yacht - mainsail, furling genoa and perhaps Cruising Chute. When the furling genoa is too small and heavy, the MP-G provides light air power and keeps the boat moving.
The MP-G is set flying so there is no need to remove the furling genoa. Nylon construction together with a non stretch luff rope, makes it particularly easy to handle; it also means that the MP-G takes up minimal storage space. No specialised or costly equipment is needed - just a halyard and sheets.

By aligning the panels (widths) at best of the direction envisaged of the efforts requesting the sail, the cut tri-optimal of sail making Elvstrom Sails allows a significant profit in versatility on a genoa sail on furler.
In the small airs, lighter, the more reactive genoa sail watch.
In the medium, its more stable profile makes it more powerful.
In the breeze, its resistance to the deformation (taken hollow) improves quality of rolling up, therefore profile. It is a profit in performance, but also in safety (aptitude to be made near).
Declined in version Offshore sport boat (associate with radial a Hydranet roving will spectra polyester) for the intensive and/or deep-sea programs of navigation, or in version Club (associate with a roving Polyester sandwich, film mylar, taffeta of protection) for the program of mixed navigation race/cruising or more simply for the skippers wishing as well as possible to exploit the potential of their boats, the tri-optimal genoa sail can in addition grow rich by many options (Return of nerve of fall by the edge, bandages UV color with the choice, correction of Eflex hollow or Zipfurl, etc...).

Equipped with completions adapted to a traditional program of navigation pleasure, associated with a horizontal cut and a roving dacron high tenacity, the genoa sail on furler Coastal Elvstrom Sails will be the tool "without preoccupations" with your week end and your holidays.
This same genoa sail is declined in addition in completions Offshore (completions intended for a deep-sea and/or intensive use) and can grow rich by many options (band UV color with the choice, correction of Eflex hollow or Zipfurl, etc...

Thanks to technologies Genesis EMT (Elvstrom Technology Membranes) Endurance, you profit from cruising sails or race cruising getting:
- More course and of power.
- More comfort.
- More robustness.
The sail is indeed carried out starting from composite membranes associating films mylar, fibers (polyester or vectran according to the size of the boat) and taffeta of protection on each face.
These membranes are produced to measure according to a process patented by Elvstrom Sails, ensuring a perfect linearity of the fibers, which radiate very precisely according to the orientation of the mechanical constraints undergone by the sail.
The sail is consequently:
- Lighter, generating more comfort (reduction in the list, pitching, facilitated operations).
- Equipped with a profile appreciably more stable. By avoiding any dissipation of deformation energy of roving, all the power is restored with the boat.
Years of development around this technology make it possible from now on to place this technology at the disposal of all the navigators, since the yachtman (Genesis Endurance Coastal completions) to the deep-sea navigator (Genesis Endurance Offshore completions).
For the most demanding projects and the maximum ones or mega yachts, Elvstrom Sails in addition developed a die of production of membranes top-of-the-range, Epex Technology, completely controlled and exclusively dedicated to the Elvstrom sails.
Epex caratérise in particular by a vacuum lamination extrème, ensuring an unequalled management of the glues and a scrupulous respect of the orientation of fibers.
