E-Tech Composite is a film-on-film racing membrane, constructed fiber by fiber using a custom layout of carbon and Technora (aramid) fibers. It delivers elite-level structure, shape retention, and responsiveness under load, making it one of the most precise and efficient Code Zero materials available. Whether built for broad-reaching, tight reaching, or true J0 upwind sails, […]
Element Composite uses the same carbon and Technora membrane base as our E-Tech Composite, but adds Lite Skin, a lightweight, non-woven outer layer, to one or both sides of the sail. This added skin increases durability and abrasion resistance, making Element the top choice for boats tackling serious offshore miles. Structurally, Element performs just like […]
Dimension-Polyant CZ Silver is a hybrid laminate that blends a woven nylon base with a Technora scrim to create a stronger, lower-stretch alternative to traditional spinnaker cloths. It’s designed for racing Code Zeros where light weight, clean furling, and improved structure over pure nylon are priorities. CZ Silver delivers better stability and pointing ability than […]
The Chicago to Mackinac Race is one of the ultimate tests of preparation, endurance, and performance. 333 miles up Lake Michigan demands more than just skill. It demands the right sails, the right setup, and a plan to handle whatever the lake throws your way. Last year’s race was a reminder of how quickly conditions […]
