As you know, our winning record on the monohulls have been nothing but amazing. We take great pride in our designs, construction, and customer service.

Many of our products are very unique and only offered by Sabre Sails. Our championship sails are constructed out of Contender Sailcloth (www.contendersailcloth.com), the finest laminates you can buy. The construction is on the leading edge of sailmaking. These sails are constructed to give the customer the best performance and longevity. Corner patches are constructed with solid Aramids strain relief strips and covers with our distinguished lily pad reinforcing cover patch. In the first year, boats with Super K2™ sails won 5 national championships-that is every boat with Sabre Sails Super K2™ sails won the championship. This is a win/win combination for your boat.

Our Championship radial sails are recommended for the most dedicated racer. Cloth selection is made only after a Stress & Strain analysis has been performed to assure longevity and durability. Sabre Sails understand that the purchase of a Championship radial sail is an investment that needs to last as well as perform. Your sail is designed using Sabre Sails Non-Linear Twist Distribution Program that allows the designer to "fit" the sail around your boat's rig. This means faster acceleration, higher pointing and flatter exit angles for greater wind range. Each sail undergoes a Polar Optimization analysis to assure that the sail is aligned with boat's hull to obtain the maximum up wind performance.

All our Professional Championship sails come with Strain reduction patches to reduce the overall size and weight of the head, clew and tack patches. These patches are computer generated from our Stress & Strain Analysis program.

Our Championship Sails are offered in 3 types of materials (Super K3™, AK family of Contenders premium aramids, and Carbon). The Championship spinnakers are offered using Contenders' Dynalite, Stabilkote, and Maxikote spinnaker cloths.

Championship Super K2™/Super K3™

Four years ago Sabre Sails introduced a new product called Super K1. Super K1 used an off the shelf balanced sailcloth to demonstrate a revolutionary new manufacturing process. The response for this product was so overwhelming we decided to redesign the cloth for the loads on the J-30 and for a faster aerodynamic surface. (see why Super K3?)

In January 2000, Super K2™ was delivered to Sabre Sails. It is produced in 5 weights. Ultra light, super light, light, medium, and heavy. This range of weights gives us the capability to produce the lightest, strongest sails in the world; from light air screechers, blades and mains for all boats to 50 footers. This cloth has 16.5% more high modulus fibers in the primary axis and 73% more high modulus fibers in the secondary axis than the aramids our competitors are using in their sails. The customer is getting more denier (more aramid) per dollar with this cloth.

In November 2001 Super K3™ was introduced. It has a new gray tinted laminate to increase the UV resistance by 75% and has even more modulus fibers than Super K2™.

A new dimension in sail construction was developed for the construction of the Super K3™ sails. A new glue was developed that is applied to the broadseams at over 400° F. This welds the seams together and has stopped seam creep. In addition the seams are sewn to assure longevity. We also developed a technique to remove the glued seam if the sail need to be repaired. In addition, stress relief tapes made of solid aramids fibers are installed at all the stress points and covered with a stress relief cover patch. These tapes and patches are designed to absorb the loads and provide longevity to the sail.

Championship Aramid

These sails are constructed out of the finest radial laminates money can buy. These laminates have a new gray tint to increase the UV resistance by 75%. Corner patches are constructed with solid aramid strain relief tapes and covers with our distinguished lily pad reinforcing cover patch.

Championship Carbon

Sabre Sails is offering the latest in radial sailcloth, the Graphx performance laminates. Since this cloth is new to the industry, no one can predict the longevity of these sails. If you want the black color look, then these are the ones you want. Corner patches are constructed with solid carbon strain relief tapes and covers with our distinguished lily pad reinforcing cover patch. We have developed new insulating techniques to isolate the carbon from the hardware. But due to the inherent physical and chemical properties of carbon, we can not warranty the sail for galvanic corrosion and longevity. We also had an extensive impact flutter stretch test performed on the carbon against our Championship aramid sailcloth we use on our championship products. The results of these tests are:

• Carbon is on average 10% to 20% heavier than aramid for similar high load stretch numbers.
• Carbon has on average 3 to 4 times more stretch at low load (10#) compared to aramid due to crimp.
• Carbon has on average 15% to 20% more stretch at high load (200#) compared to aramid.
• Carbon is on average 25% to 46% more expensive than comparable aramid products.

Dynalite Spinnaker cloth

Dynalite is stronger than any other .75 oz nylon with bionic tear strength and is totally waterproof. This cloth is so slippery that the sail does not cling to itself during a gybe, which equates to a faster set time and faster gybes. Sabre Sails is the largest user of Dynalite spinnaker cloth in the United States. Dynalite is the only silicone coated spinnaker cloth that does not wash off after a couple of sets/take downs. Several other sailmakers have misrepresented this amazing product by offering an inferior product. These sails come with ball bearing rings pressed into the head and tack to assist that our gybes are the fastest on the race course. Panel layouts are all rocked radials and designs for the maximum performance and strength.

Stabilkote Spinnaker cloth

Stabilkote is has been considered the leader in the .75 oz coated spinnaker cloth. It is closely woven with durable polyurethane coating for zero porosity. Panel layouts are all rocked radials and designs for the maximum performance and strength.

Maxikote Spinnaker cloth

Maxikote is the only performance coated heavy air cloth for highly loaded sails. It was the overwhelming choice of the leading American Cup program. It is closely woven with a durable polyurethane coating for zero porosity. Panel layouts are all rocked radials and designs for the maximum performance and strength.
