Today the 3 most widely known sail cloths on the market are:

4D technology ...

Using the virtuel project technique a lane and shape is created. The directions of the threads constitute a classical web. The tightness of the weave structure, however, ensure a very high cloth quality. The subsequent sewing work with joints and trimmings of the cloth is rather time consuming and costly.

3DL technology ...
 
By incorporating a special melting technique the shape of the sail can be made, using a 3 dimensional mould. This way the shape  of the sail will follow all the forces of the sail and create an optimal construction. The technology is highly appreciated but also known to be a very costly and expensive manufactoring process.

A disadvantage is that the sail cloth is exposed to wear and tear. Based on these facts we have chosen to disregard this sailcloth manufacturing process.

Assymetric technology ...

(Refers to the grind photo above).        The special assymetric weave structure makes, when changing the boats course, the sail folding out in such a way that the weave threads will follow simultanously the forces and tensions in the sail.

We can offer ...

Technologies each with advantages and disadvantages. We can offer 4D cloth technology from BAINBRIDGE or DIMENSION POLYANT or the assymetric cloth technology from CONTENDER.
