The ranges Racing Regatta of sail making Elvstrom Sails is addressed to projects where no concession is made with the performance.
1/ Determination of the profile.
The immense experiment of the Elvstrom group and the fluidity of information circulating between our research departments in Europe (France, Denmark, Italy, Spain etc...) you guarantee answers tested on more the share of the supports sailing today.
Those want to be centered on the facility of control of the power, through in particular of the round attacks and full partners with fine falls making it possible to control the power easily.
2/ Stability of profile.
In an unstable environment, the sail is subjected to constant variations of pressure. It is thus important not to see these variations resulting in a dissipation of deformation energy of roving.
Exclusive technology Epex answers this waiting.
The sail is carried out starting from composite membranes associating films mylar and fibers selected according to the size and the program of the boat.
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.
For the most demanding projects, Elvstrom Sails in addition developed a die of production of membranes top-of-the-range, Epex Technology, controlled and 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. A weight ratio/maximum capacity.

For boats 40' and under, the Pentex based paneled sails in tri-radial construction make a very cost efficient, high performing sails that meets the "recreational" requirements to get rating credit under PHRF and other rules. Tri-Radial sails are available in almost all fibers types: Vectran, Twaron, Technora, Carbon, Pentex, Polyester and Spectra. On tough to bond fibers such as Pentex and Spectra they fill a special need since the lamination pressure and quality are generally higher on rolled goods.

With FiberPath technology, Ullman Sails can build true load-path sails with proven fast shapes and the right combination of fibers and films for each application. How FiberPath Works? Why have we developed FiberPath sails? FiberPath technology allows us to align fibers along the primary loads in a sail and build in multiple fiber patterns to address secondary loads. Basically, you get a sail that is reinforced in the exact places it needs to be. As a result, a FiberPath sail has a wider wind range and is stronger for its weight than a tri-radial sail.

Lighter and stronger. In 1994 North Sails introduced a revolutionary new technology to sailmaking called 3DL (three dimensional laminate). Instead of assembling flat panels (2D) with curved edges to make a sail, the 3DL process molds the entire sail in one piece without any seams. Compared to a panelled sail, a 3DL sail of the same weight will stretch less, have more effective wind range and will retain its molded shape longer. Ever since their introduction, 3DL sails have dominated the Grand Prix scene and have been used by both finalists in the America's Cup of 1995 and 2000.

FiberLay is a load-path reinforced sail that utilizes a light, stable base laminate material as a foundation for load bearing fibers arrayed from the corners of the sail. With 23 years of experience building yarn-bearing sails, Doyle Sailmakers provides a product with a long history of durability and performance.
The FiberLay is a crosscut membrane that is shaped and seamed before the application of the load bearing fibers. The high load yarns run from corner to the opposite side to assure a smooth transition from panel to panel, and with the fibers crossing the seams there is no chance of seam creep or distortion.

Our Vectrix Membrane sails are designed and built around new software technologies, which allow Neil Pryde to 'string' the flying membrane of the CAD-designed sails with a variety of yarn types and in patterns that match the loads generated throughout a particular sail type. This technology allows us to reduce the yarn density in low load areas of the sail and putting a higher yarn density only where it needs to be. This careful engineering result in lighter, stronger sails that have less deformation of the design shapes than conventional constructed sails.
This technology is seamlessly integrated with our design software, which allows the latest shapes and design philosophies of our designers to flow into this new technology. Vectrix sails are made using the latest Aramid and carbon fibers, strung on to U.V. stable films and sealed using two-sided laminators and ovens to produce exceptional film-to-film bonds. This construction will not delaminate, yet have an excellent hand or feel.
We offer 3 versions of this exciting product:
Aramid: Utilizing High-Modulus Aramid yarns throughout the membrane yields a value packed product with very good durability racing lifespan.
Aramid / Carbon: Utilizing High-Modulus Aramid yarns, coupled with High-Modulus Carbon yarns allows us to further improve the weight to strength ratio of the Aramid sails, yielding a lighter and better performing product.
Carbon: High-Modulus Carbon yarns coupled with High-Modulus Technora yarns provide us with the best weight to strength ratio of all the lay-ups. Intended for the highest end of our sport, this product represents our effort to push the envelope on constructions, layouts and finishing.
Features:
We apply our design experience and the traditional values of sail craftsmanship to build the sails that will more than meet your expectations. No matter how exacting you are, when you tell us what you want from your racing sails, we listen. Our designers have a lifetime passion for racing. They have learned that there is no such thing as second best and they are as serious about helping you win as they are about winning themselves. To this end, we firmly believe that a racing sail should be 'turn-key', no hidden options, no frilly finishing. The sails are purpose built to race and perform.

The large sail Elvstrom Sails completion "Club" are intended to the owners eager to practice the regatta between two week end of ballade, without having to change set of sails... Or more simply with those for which the performances are a decisive criterion even in cruising.
The rovings Cruising sandwich, made up essentially of polyester fibers, associated with films interns mylar and of protection taffeta on each face, answer perfectly this type of program. Since now more than ten years, they indeed offer a particularly efficient alternative in term of robustness, of longevity and of stability of profile, performance guarantees.
Equipped with a clear completion gray, these rovings in addition join perfectly the lines modern sailboats of fast cruising.
Presented here in traditional version lathing, the large sail Elvstrom Sails "Club" can in addition be declined in semi lathing (mainstrom) or integral lathing (e-batten).
The sails Elvstrom Sails Club completions in addition can, in option, to profit from technology Genesis EMT (Elvstrom Membrane Technology) Endurance or Platinium.

Thanks to technologies EPEX and 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 (Epex Endurance Coastal completions) to the deep-sea navigator (Epex 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 Technologie, 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.
