MatriX Titanium The Manufacturing Process UK Sailmakers pioneered load path sails with the Tape-Drive® construction method. Tape-Drive sails transfer the sail’s aerodynamic loads from the sail’s cloth and seams to bundles of high strength yarns. The MatriX Titanium® construction method is a logical progression of Tape-Drive. In MatriX Titanium sails, the load-bearing yarns are unbundled, spread evenly across the sail, and run from head to clew, head to tack, tack to clew, with no breaks or interruptions. This array of load-bearing, high-strength yarns is laid dry (without glue) by machine...

UK Sailmakers The Difference In most other sail construction methods, a flat sail is laminated with glue, cut apart into pieces and re-formed into a 3-dimensional shape. This compromises the structural integrity of the fiber aray. That’s not the case with MatriX Titanium sails. MatriX Titanium sails keep their shape. They are made in one piece without load-bearing seams and with yarns running throughout. The forces on the sails are optimally dispersed over the entire yarn structure. MatriX Titanium sails are light and flexible. Because the lamination process uses no adhesives on the fibers,...
