SKIFF

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the SKIFF Racing Laminate, specifically designed for racing sailors. It highlights the use of ZigZag reinforced laminate technology to enhance performance in dinghies and skiffs.

Specifications: The laminates are available in different film weights and constructions to provide stability and strength. The AX 30 series uses a 3 mil film weight, with AX 30 White featuring gold aramid warp fibers and white poly ZigZag, while AX 30 Black uses all black polyester fiber. The AX 40 Skiff uses a 4 mil film for increased stability, with gold aramid warps and black poly for enhanced stretch resistance.

Materials and Construction: The laminates incorporate optically clear films for high visibility and are reinforced with warp yarns and ZigZag technology for tear resistance. The AX 40 Window material includes a 4 mil laminate with a black polyester reinforcing grid at a 30° angle for high-resolution visibility.

Performance Skiff Laminates: The document provides a table summarizing the styles, film thickness, and construction details of the laminates:

AX 30 W: 3.0 mil film, 3x1100A construction, 1000 @ 22º off warp, White Poly ZigZag.
AX 30 B: 3.0 mil film, 3x1000 construction, 1000 @ 22º off warp, Black Poly ZigZag.
AX 40 Skiff: 4.0 mil film, 3x1100A construction, 1000 @ 30º off warp, Black Poly ZigZag.
AX 40 Window: 4.0 mil film, 1000 @ 30º off warp, Black Poly reinforcing grid.

Conclusion: The SKIFF Racing Laminate offers advanced materials and construction techniques to provide racing sailors with enhanced performance, stability, and visibility in competitive sailing environments.

Catalog excerpts

SKIFF Racing Laminate ZigZag reinforced Skiff Laminate for the racing sailor Contender offers a range of optically clear films for dinghies and performance skiffs where a high film weight brings the stability required for fast flying shapes. In a 3 mil film weight, AX 30 White and AX 30 Black offer inserted warp yarns for thread-line strength along with off-angle ZigZag technology for tear resistance added stability. The 3 mils of film increase the bias stability of the laminate. AX 30 White features gold aramid warp fibers and white poly ZigZag while the AX 30 Black is all black polyester fiber. For added stability, AX 40 Skiff uses 4 mils of film for a firmer bias along with gold aramid warps and black poly for increased thread-line stretch resistance. Our window material is a 4 mil laminate of optically clear film for high resolution visibility combined with a black polyester reinforcing grid at 30°.
