MATRIX TITANIUM
UK-Halsey International
MatriX Titanium is UK-Halsey's highest performance sail construction method and it is now available from any one of UK-Halsey's 50 lofts and service centers. These sails are the result of a five year development program undertaken by our loft in southern France and are unique among the membrane genre for a couple of reasons.
First, the structural yarns are continuous running from head to clew, head to tack, tack to clew with no breaks or interruptions. The result is a truly one-piece sail with no load bearing seams. Yes, there are seams in the film but they are there simply to shape the membrane, nothing more. The aerodynamic loads are passed from corner to corner by the continuous, one-piece yarns. No need to worry about seam distortion, wrinkles or worse yet, seam failure. MatriX Titanium sails are smooth and wrinkle free.
Second, the sails stay laminated. In fact they're guaranteed against delamination for two years.
Third, MatriX Titanium sails are light. There is no excess glue on the film and the yarns are actually dry e.g. no adhesive coating. The result is a laminate that is extremely light, easy to handle and has a minimum of mechanical shrinkage. Corner patches are thin and flexible.
