The Custom Axis Laminate is very different from most other racing laminates. It belongs to a new generation of modern, asymmetric and multi-axial sailcloth, designed for cross-cut sails rather than radial cut sails. But that's not all. The laminate itself is individually designed and constructed, sail by sail and panel by panel. Each Custom Axis Laminate sail has 6 fibre angles which are set individually, for each particular sail, according to the anticipated load lines of the sail. And on top of this, we also vary the fibre density in the sail, with additional fibre put in the leech area, where the highest loads are concentrated. All in all, no two sails will be the same. The racing version of the Custom Axis Laminate is of course free of the woven taffetas used for the range of performance cruising sails. They have additional reinforcement in their high load areas but are similar in applied techniques to the Performance Cruising version.
