CONTENDER MAX-4 MAINSAIL

Name: CONTENDER MAX-4 MAINSAIL
Brand: North Sails
Price: 1317.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

All-Purpose

Introducing the Contender MAX-4 Mainsail, a cutting-edge cross-cut laminate sail. It excels across the entire wind spectrum, from harnessing power in light breezes to optimizing efficiency in strong winds with minimal drag. Achieving this versatility is made possible by leveraging the directional strain of its fabric to maintain precise horizontal sections. Its higher modulus cloth particularly enhances downwind performance, especially in winds exceeding 10 knots, where class regulations permit free pumping. Discover the ultimate sail for superior adaptability, power, and efficiency with the MAX-4 Mainsail.

ONE DESIGN LAMINATE ARAMID

North Paneled Laminates are woven by North Sails, and are the market’s highest-performance 2D laminate race sailcloth. A proprietary polyester resin system resists heat, water, and UV at a level unmatched by any string sail. Sails cut from NPL are significantly stronger, lower stretch, and lighter than competitor brands.
