Fibercon® Polykote-1

Fibercon® Competition Cloth for top performance Racing dinghy and One Design keelboat sailors have always pushed their sails to the limit and Fibercon® Competition gives them what they need for competition from club level right through to Olympic and World Championship regattas. Fibercon® Competition is the most successful sailcloth available for this type of racing. The key for this type of sailing is our super stable Polykote finish, combined with precise weaving of the unique Fibercon fibres. The Polykote finish is a polyurethane coating, developed especially by us, which provides a hard layer to stabilise the weave and create a connection between the yarns. This ensures the very high stability of the cloth but still allows the sail to be trimmed to a wide range of conditions on a modern racing rig. Polykote finish diagonal stability handling Tempered Polykote finish Some sails or rigs need a slightly more flexible, but still very stable cloth e.g., to make it easier to trim your sail, to extend its lifespan or to suit a more flexible rig. Based on the successful Polykote finish, we have, therefore, developed a slightly more pliable coating: Tempered Polykote. Tempered Polykote finish 1 diagonal stability www.contendersailcloth.com
