Designed and Built with Care and Precision
Global Voyager
Ramsay Global Voyager sails are for blue water adventurers. Designed for explorers who want the ultimate in toughness and durability, Ramsay Global Voyager sails are built with the most rugged top-quality Polyester and Polyester/UHMWPE weaves to give exceptional durability.
Fastnet
Challenge Fastnet is designed to withstand super tough conditions. Challenge Fastnet is the most durable offshore Polyester sailcloth. Fastnet is the 2018 upgrade from Challenge’s successful High Mass Fibre Weave product line. The result of 15 years of development, Fastnet combines all of the technology and lessons learned from the past six Clipper Around the World Races.
These yachts demand the best because they are crewed by ambitious amateurs. The sails must perform well and last for over 50,000 miles. Challenge Sailcloth has supplied Clipper for two decades, and now offer Fastnet to sailors who need bulletproof durability and UV resistance.
Hydra Net®
Hydra Net® radial has a tightly woven polyester base with a ripstop of UHMWPE. This composition leads to a higher tear strength and a sailcloth with a life that exceeds any woven polyester.
The blend of UHMWPE and polyester delivers reduced fabric stretch and superior ultraviolet light protection.
UHMWPE is woven in both the warp and fill directions to provide balance, resulting in a fabric that ages gracefully and yields high performance for thousands of miles. Hydra Net® radial is the world’s first climate neutral sailcloth, it is built with bio-based UHMWPE fibres from Dyneema®
Fibercon® Dyneema Pro Hybrid
Fibercon® Hybrid 'powered with Dyneema®' is carefully designed with performance cruising yachts and long distance cruising in mind. Fibercon® Hybrid combines tremendous strength and durability in a woven fabric suited to today's high-tech radial sails.
Because it uses a woven construction and the incredibly durable Dyneema® yarns, Fibercon® Hybrid has superb resistance to impact damage and wear and tear in use, or to the growth of unsightly mildew.
The combination of high strength Dyneema® yarns with Fibercon® polyester yarns has been engineered to take advantage of the properties of both components. It is finished with a special Contender coating which is unique to this range of fabrics. The result is a super-durable, high performance cruising sailcloth which is much stronger than normal woven Polyester fabrics.
