This new nylon line is to be utilised in the construction of downwind sails, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, where durability is the prime requirement. Hexagon cloth is stabilized with an exclusive FMG formulation. The Hexagon styles are excellent in terms of tear resistance, of load bearing and zero porosity. The vast line starts from cloth weighing 36gr for very light sails and goes up to 85gr for large sails flyingin heavy wind. The range has been designed to build composite constructions, mixing style weights in the same sail. With more than twenty years of experience in assessing spinnaker materials we think we understand the needs of the most demanding sail trimmer.
We aim to positively influence the quality of cruising sail material. The distinction between race and cruise spinnaker cloth doesn’t come down to us. In fact Hexagon cloth, when compared in equal performances with our competitors, proved more durable.
Finding the right combination of construction and chemical finishing for Hexagon required years of development and countless tests.
In designing HEXAGON nylon our main focus was on durability of the coating and therefore on the persistency of the zero porosity.
We are perfectly aware that there is nothing available on the market today which completely fulfils the requirements; current nylons are either too rigid, too soft or too fragile, or with little durability.
Thanks to our FMG formulation we have achieved excellent tear resistance, but above all we have attained extremely durable resin-to-cloth bonding.
With Hexagon we have the perfect balance between softness and bias stability avoiding the trap of “too rigid” and the temptation of “too soft”. In fact downwind sails, when built with rigid materials are very fast, but are unstable in the presence of waves.
All these goals have been reached, creating subtle differences that the best sail trimmer will recognise, and which we can prove through a number of innovative tests that recreate what happens to the materials during use and misuse.
Produced in white but any colour can be reproduced on demand. The styles H50 and H65 are produced in colours and are specifically priced to be competitive in the cruise material market. We feel that a performance cruise deserves better cloth. We are prepared to exchange margins per volume, providing better performance and durability.
HEXAGON, a new choice for quality.
