Doyle Racing Mainsails
Cross Cut Dacron Racing Mainsails
A well made Dacron sail still represents one of the best values for many sailors. For racers who are willing to give up a bit of shape retention for durability, it can be a very good choice. Dacron sails are like the willow tree - they bend, but they seldom break.
Tri Radial Racing Mainsails
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. Paneled 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.
Stratis Racing Mainsails
Stratis is Doyle's proprietary custom laid fiber aligned sail laminate delivering unsurpasses shape rentention and performance. Stratis pre-impregnated fiber technology provides unmatched flexibility in fiber orientation, accuracy of placement and superior lamination. All fibers are load bearing, converging to every load point, producing stronger, lighter sails that are much smoother when set, hold their shape better with significantly less stretch, and last longer than conventional panel sails.
