Stratis Manufacturing Process

Design

Fiber paths are applied 3 dimensionally to custom load calculations for every sail. Doyle's in house load and fiber distribution program is applied to calculate load paths. The end result - a smooth preshaped Stratis™ sail is fitted to the boat.

Plotting

The step of mapping the yarns from the design process to applying fiber to the base laminate is exact. A fully automated fiber bed allows for up to 18 yarns in each pass - faster than a conventional paneled sail can be cut out.

Lamination

3 years of research has resulted in an advanced vaccum system combined with direct pressure. Our method achieves the best laminate possible, short of production in outer space.

Finishing

All of our trained sail technicians have practical on the water experience, combined with finishing techniques that come from years of experience.

Sailing

The reality of a final product is fitted to the yacht - Ultimately a smoother, faster and significantly lighter sail. Stratis sails offer the cruising and racing sailor a like the perfect product every time.
