2 Spinnaker Styles Spinnaker- Styles Code Zero Laminates Code Zero sails were initially developed for offshore racing but are now gaining popularity in club and buoys racing. A Code Zero sail is similar to an asymmetric spinnaker but flatter in shape and used like a light area genoa. Conventional spinnaker fabrics have insufficient stretch resistance to work in these applications. Therefore DIMENSION-POLYANT has developed a special lightweight laminate line to match the requirements. *) only available on special request Code Zero Sails Screecher Sails CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' CZ ' *) only available on special request Spinnaker Styles 2

3 Spinnaker- Styles Ripstop Spinnaker Nylon DIMENSION-POLYANT Ripstop Spinnaker materials are designed specifically to complement today s radial constructed spinnakers. Our nylons help to build smoother, stronger, more stable versatile spinnakers based on their constructions, which also provide high weight to strength ratios.

The Formulon line utilizes our exclusive Formulon coatings to create super low stretch spinnaker fabric with superior bias control to prevent distortion and accompanying shrinkage under load. This double coating is applied to substrates with "paired" ripstops allowing the firm finish to work without reducing tear and breaking strength. Formulon spinnaker material exhibits performance that lasts combined with the durability to work in modern asymmetrical applications.

These fabrics rely on their tight Polyester yarn construction rather than a heavy finish to resist stretch. Spinnakers can be built to maximum measurements due to minimum changes of characteristics when exposed to water and sun. Spinnaker Styles 3

4 Yacht Sailcloth Polyester Polyester Racing One Design DIMENSION-POLYANT One Design Polyester fabrics are a precision designed collection of purpose built fabrics to meet the requirements of a wide range of boat and sail applications. In-house weaving and finishing ensure that the tight constructions and variety of finishes, from the soft FTO to the exclusive hard coated HTP plus, perform with a consistency for classes that demand a repeatable sail shape every time. Each style has proven its outstanding properties, particularly the 1% performance and controlled bias stretch, on and off the racecourse. Our One Design fabrics have been consistently refined over the years to be winners in sails from the Int. Optimist class up to Olympic classes. High tech HTP plus finish provides stretch resistance, strength and durability for One Design sails. DIMENSION-POLYANT has specialized weaving looms that produce extremely tight-woven fabrics at a consistent quality. One Design-Ripstop Precisely controlled warp and fill yarns reduce stretch in the primary load directions. Common Applications One Design classes like Optimist, Cadet, 420, 470, Flying Dutchman, Star Boats, Soling, Dragons, etc. Dinghies, Small multihulls, Small keel boats, Lightnings, Scow's, Flying Scotts, DN Iceboats, Thisles N.B.

Strong Fill s high-tenacity fill yarns are heavy denier and non-crimped, for exceptional strength in the primary direction. A tight weave with MTO finish means good bias control and a pleasant hand. Strong Fill is available with a firm HTP plus finish for racing applications. Yacht Sailcloth Polyester 6

7 Polyester Racing SQUARE DIMENSION-POLYANT SQUARE was designed for use in performance oriented sails. These premium polyester styles are used when improved off-the-threadline support is desired. SQUARE styles are unique in many aspects. They are easily identified by a ripstop pattern woven into the substrate by using either 500 or 1000 denier yarns paired in both the warp and the fill direction. These yarns create an extremely rugged fabric, even in the lightweight styles with the very firm HTP plus finish. All the SQUARE styles feature fairly balanced constructions, woven with very tightly packed small denier yarns. Combined with larger size SQUARE yarns, it makes these styles low stretch in all three directions and suitable for both vertical and crosscut constructions in racing and cruising headsails as well as in small mainsails.

14 PEN Laminates PEN X-PLY X -Line As a complement to our successful polyester based PX Line DIMENSION-POLYANT introduced PEN versions of these fabrics. These styles practically utilize the same constructions as the PX versions with one exception: PEN fiber is used in the warp direction. PEN has a higher modulus than polyester and these fabrics exhibit approximately 30 to 40% lower stretch than their Polyester equivalents. This range has a "step up" fill construction. As the warp strength goes up - so does the fill strength. The PEN X-PLY Line of fabric is the ideal choice for sails where low stretch is a top priority and aramid based fabrics must not be used. The PE fabrics are produced utilizing our patented X-PLY technique assuring sailmakers of reliable performance and the highest quality lamination available on the sailcloth market. As further improvement the X-PLY contains PEN fibers.

16 Flex Laminates Flex Laminates FLEX -Line DIMENSION-POLYANT s FLEX line stands for Fill Laminate Extra X. FLEX is especially suited for racing and cruising sails. Foundations of all FLEX laminate constructions are strong fill and warp yarns. Additional 20 and 30 double X patterns from the fill absorb multiple load situations. Thanks to its novel construction, FLEX handles strain in six different directions, resulting in unprecedented shape retention characteristics. In addition to primary loads, off-angle loads in clew, head and tack areas, mid leech and luff are catered for. FLEX will also absorb those dynamic loads that occur during sailing and enables excellent shape control. FLEX styles are crosscut fabrics and available with several fibre densities which can be combined in a sail in accordance with the expected load situation. FLEX s tight-knit fibre matrix guarantees long performance life and superior durability.

20 Cruising Laminates GXLD Line GXLD Line The GXLD line is a continuation of developments targeted for the emerging megaboat market. As different products are tested in the high-load applications these boats develop, it's more obvious that combinations of the known fibre characteristics we have dealt with can be intertwined to produce unique fabrics. The fabrics must combine light weight with exceptional shape holding characteristics and long term durability. Melding these characteristics through our in-house lamination affords us the luxury of testing different combinations of taffetas, scrims and films to produce the highest end product at a reasonable cost-to-performance in its' application. To reach this end, we've developed the GXLD line as a combination of the strongest, most durable product in Dyneema and the lowest stretch material in Carbon. By constructing this line with rugged ripstop Dyneema taffetas, the inherent chafe of sto-way masts and booms in hydraulically powered applications becomes a non-factor. The strength of the proprietary carbon inserts addresses the intense loads while minimizing cloth distortion and growth, critical factors that must be addressed in keeping sail geometry perfect to fit the many handlingsystems crucial to sailing these boats.
