T E S T I M O N I A L S
This is my second set of deck sweeper sails from two different sail makers. The first set provided a recognizable gain over traditional sails, the Next Gen sails are a step up again. The Next Gen package is superb, from gust response upwind to the depth we can carry downwind the whole thing just works. I can't recommend the product or the Next Gen team highly enough. If you are sailing F18's these are the sails you want. |

Ready to Sail Like a Champion?
Join the ranks of world-class sailors with our championship-winning Gennaker. Elevate your sailing game with a sail that's proven to win!
Available in two material choices:
Dynakote 75- high performance spinnaker fabric with high stability, low weight, and zero porosity that have the same construction and polyurethane based coating as Superkote 70 and 75.
The exclusive Dynakote finish adds a Nano surface coating to the fabric. The effect is a very smooth slippery surface which means that you can hoist and lower your sail faster, gybe quickly and more smoothly. The excellent water repellency ensures that your spinnaker stays light and dry for a long time, maintaining their bias stability even in the toughest conditions.
Maxikote 100 (recommended for Raid sails)- spinnaker fabric is woven with polyester yarns and finished with our very stable and durable polyurethane coating. The result is that Maxikote has very little elasticity and makes very form-stable sails due to its low stretch. The stability and the range of weights of the Maxikote series are designed to achieve the best strength/weight ratio for your spinnaker.
