Check out this video of our new cable-free Code Zero. Designed in a code zero laminate with a high density fiber luff, in epex. The Cable-free Code Zero is easy to handle and store. With the improved positive luff, you gain wider sailing angles compared to a traditional Code Zero - and more power.
The wing jib is a unique storm-jib developed for modern yachts with furling sails, to gain better control of our steering when the wind picks up. And the good thing is that you can prepare before going out!
EPEX Soft is a new EPEX membrane with no film. To compensate for the strength that the film adds, the fiber layout is adjusted accordingly. The new membrane is soft, easy to pack and handle. Thus, especially suitable for cruising sails.
Downwind off-shore surfing - with a thrill. The Blue Water Runner is a symmetric twin furling sail which is easy to furl away from the safety of the cockpit. Large sail - large fun. But easy to control day and night, if the going gets tough.
For the exclusive cruiser. Elvstrøm Sails has introduced a brand new solution for furling sails. Integrated batten pockets that enhances the beauty of the sail and leaves you with a flawless and symmetrical sail profile - adding up to the perfect sailing experience.
Launch of a new all black EPEX GPR racing sails at the coming Boat Shows. New for the racing yacht market at the coming boat shows is our EPEX GPR (Grand Prix Racing) a striking, lightweight, black laminate sail fabric.
A cross-cut sail (x-cut) consists of a number of horizontal panels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the leech. This is a very cost-effective way of producing a sail, making it affordable and long-lasting. Being the first sail-design on the market, the x-cut sail has a long and proven track-record. Cross-cut sails are typically made from a woven polyester cloth with straight fill yarns that are stronger than the warp yarns. The strong fill yarns are aligned with the load bearing direction of the sail resulting in a very durable sail.
Trioptimal layout is also referred to as radial, since the panels are radial typically oriented towards the corners of the sail resulting in a triangular shape. This layout distributes the forces the sail is exposed to optimally and helps maintain the shape of the sail. The panels that make up the radial layout are carefully arranged to follow the load pattern, ensuring a strong and stable sail. Upwind sails in a trioptimal layout are typically made from a laminate cloth, that is a sandwich cloth constructed of more layers. However, you will find a few trioptimal designs in a woven polyester cloth, and most nylon downwind sails are designed in a trioptimal cut.
The unique and patented EPEX membrane technology is the flagship of Elvstrøm Sails. A 100 % custom design where every single yarn is placed according to a load path design, computer calculated to the individual sailing preference. This enables the absolute optimal distribution of fibers over the entire sail resulting in an outstanding shape stability and performance. A broad range of materials and fibers are available to meet every need. The components are bonded under extreme and constant vacuum that evacuates all air, holds the membrane in place, and compresses the membrane components.
