RACING SAILS
Racing genoas, headsails & jibs
The right sized and shaped headsail for the conditions is always faster. Our X-Drive® and Titanium headsails maintain shape and power across a wide range of conditions — and ISL can be added to new headsails for a game-changing advantage.

Three ways to build a racing headsail.
Even sails on a budget are built to a higher standard — proper corner and reef patches, premium hardware, and UV covers protecting stitching and webbings.
Titanium
Lightest weight racing sail with continuous load-path yarns.
Construction: Molded membrane containing carbon load-path fibers running continuously from corner to corner over an aramid scrim. Lite Skin® or taffeta on the exterior gives extra durability.

X-Drive®
Load-path reinforced laminate sail.
Construction: Extra light-weight cross-cut laminate panels reinforced with corner-to-corner carbon or S-Glass yarns bonded to the sail. Lite Skin® or taffeta on one or both sides, or leech-only.

Radial
Tri-radial panel layout for increased shape holding.
Construction: Long narrow panels radiating from the corners of the sail, following the load paths connecting the three corners. The narrower the panels, the better the shape-holding.
