In our pursuit for perfection, we sourced a new laminated film which was originally developed as a high performing yacht sailcloth, Q-Ply. Q-PLY is half the weight of a similar thickness monofilm, yet has 3-times the durability and has a softer character which promotes a smoother twist. With fibres in four directions, Q-Ply has a great tensile strength, superior to many other laminated X-Ply films. Addi- tionally, Q-Ply offers 3-times more UV-resistance than a traditional X-Ply, which makes it an outstanding material for windsurfing sails. By reducing the weight in the top 1/3 of the sail,...

CONTROLS THE PROGRESSIVE TWIST MORE POWER - MORE CONTROL First introduced by Simmer in 2003, the Kevlar Stretch Control System has become a fundamental part of all current Simmer sail designs.

Kevlar stretches just a fraction of the amount of any laminated films or scrim; eliminating cloth stretch and unwanted sail distortion. These featu- res combined makes the Simmer Style Stretch Control System an industry leading...
