Overlapping parallelograms increase the strength factor. More overlaps in higher load areas eliminate heavy corner reinforcements. The result is a divergence of yarns from the corners that conform to the load pathways in the sail, so the sail stretches less. Kappa Sails flatten and have less drag than the competitor's sails as the wind increases, since the curved yarn paths straighten under load. The most durable sail on the market today.
Durability means more strength, more strength offers superior speed.
Superior Speed Kappa Sails flatten and have less drag than the competitor's sails as the wind increases, since the curved yarn paths straighten under load. The Kappa Performance Dacron Mainsail Provides significant improvements above the standard crosscut mainsail. The sail flattens as the breeze increases, since the threadline in the panels are rotated around a curve that straightens with more load. Optimized upper profile roach for maximum performance on all points of sail. Our computer generated graphic design offers the largest area possible.
