Grand Prix Headsail

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Hyde Grand Prix range is designed for high-performance racing, suitable for both round-the-cans and offshore competitions. The sails are available in two configurations: panelled sails with a tri-radial seam layout or using the new H5 Hyde membrane system.

Specifications:

Grand Prix sails feature three camber stripes, sail numbers, and tell tales with a dedicated window.
They include a Spectra leech line with an alloy cleat and back eyelets, with a 2:1 leech line for boats over 35 feet overall length.
Stainless steel webbed clew ring, webbing tack, and head loops with internal leather reinforcement are standard.
Spectra foot line and 3-step zig-zag stitching or glued seams are used for durability.
Spreader and stanchion chafe patches are supplied loose for retrofitting by the owner.
A stainless Wichard or Gibb snap shackle is fitted at the tack for quick release.
Double rope luff tape ensures quick, snag-free hoists, and tapered fiberglass battens are included where fitted.
Each sail comes with a full-length deck bag.

Sailcloth Options:

X Tech: Features Kevlar yarns sandwiched between two layers of polyester film, with an optional taffeta layer for added durability.
GPL: Utilizes carbon fiber yarns between polyester film layers, known for stability but requires careful handling.
H5: The new Hyde membrane system available in various fibers and constructions.

Additional Features:

The clew includes a stainless clew ring and alloy leech and foot line cleats.
The tack features a snap shackle with a quick release line.
