CABLELESS TECHNOLOGY
Our exclusive Cableless technology is a revolutionary sailmaking application that eliminates the use of torsion cables - increasing the range in upwind and downwind angles results in more luff projection and less weight.
Initially designed as a concept to redefine and test the boundaries of traditional cabled code sails, Cableless sails have now become one of the most sought after and recognisable applications in the industry -
Winning all over the world and leaving competitors struggling to catch up.
WHAT IS THE SECRET?
Cableless technology sees an uninterrupted lens of unidirectional fibres designed in the luff of the sail take the load from the tack to the head. The secret behind the concept is that the load is taken along the sails natural load path instead of requiring many tons of cable tension to try and keep the luff tight. In the case of a Cableless Code Zero, the luff is pushed to windward creating a far straighter luff for a fraction of the load and allows the luff to be eased and flown for deeper angles. When it comes time to furl the sail away, the bands of unidirectional Carbon running down the luff allow for a quick and easy ‘bottom-up’ or 'top-down' furl.
The lower loads required for Cable-less sails means weight savings can be made in the mast, rigging, bowsprit and deck systems. The loads can be up to 30% less than a cabled sail, making sails lighter and easier to handle.
CRUISING
Long or short haul, light, easy to handle sails are changing the way cruising sailors can see the world.
RACING
The original Cableless Sails. Designed, and delivered specifically to your requirements. Fast, light, easy handle to sails. You won't look back.
SUPERYACHT
Every Superyacht project Doyle Sails is involved with is using this technology to some extent, with some new build projects exploring going all in and taking it to its full extent.
MULTIHULL
Cableless sails have the potential to improve performance on a wide range of sailing vessels but there is one group that stands to gain exponentially….Multihulls.
WE'RE AHEAD OF THE GAME
This is a product that has been under development since 2016 and has been tested at the highest level of the sport in the last year.
Given Doyle’s past experience in engineering sails that are able to save weight and handle enormous loads, Cableless sails are a perfect extension of their resources to deliver an easy to handle, lightweight product that has application for all yachts.
The combination of Doyle’s experienced design and engineering team and the Stratis production process to run long, uninterrupted carbon fibres has ushered in this groundbreaking improvement to both upwind and downwind sailing.
