Stratis
Layout
22,000 DPI Carbon Fiber and High Modulus
Twaron UV Film

The Class main is specified using the
Stratis process
with Carbon Fiber and High Modulus Twaron. The sail
is manufactured utilizing a UV Film for the ultimate
durability. The UV film reduces the exposed light,
which can lead to fiber breakdown.
The Carbon Fiber and High Modulus Twaron fibers
offer incredible thread line strength and
efficiency, essential to handle the high leach loads
of a large mainsail. The Stratis layout is also superior
to any other process. Additional fibers can be
placed in any area of the sail for added strength.
The only other system that allows for this is
building the sail out of panels.
The mainsail on the Farr-40 must cover a very
broad range, its ability to be powered up or bladed
out will be critical. The backstay is the primary
control for this function, and thus it will need to
be adjusted frequently. |
