Racing Sails
Genesis racing sails from Sobstad come in two primary constructions: LightWave and Platinum construction.
Genesis LightWave construction is a custom film-on-film lamination sail product available with Vectran, Aramid or Polyester fibres for the primary load bearing structure. A secondary structure of Polyester scrim applied internally provides excellent resistance to tear proliferation. Sail corner reinforcements are laminated as well and consistent with the rest of the sail in terms of film and fibre content. Genesis LightWave sails come standard with the following details - Draft Stripes, TellTales, Sail Numbers, Luff Tape / Boltrope / Luff Slides*, Leech and Foot cords w/ cleats and Spectra webbing for all corner attachments. (*Specialty Luff and/or Headboard hardware is not included in any sail quotation provided and sail quotations will be modified accordingly if required or as requested.)
Genesis Platinum construction is a custom multi-layer film-taffeta-film composite, incorporating a taffeta insert within the film-on-film laminate structure. This intermediate layer greatly enhances membrane recovery from folding, creasing, impact and abrasion. A tertiary structure of Polyester scrim applied internally provides excellent resistance to tear proliferation. Sail corner reinforcements are laminated as well and consistent with the rest of the sail in terms of film and fibre content. Genesis Platinum sails come standard with the following details - Draft Stripes, TellTales, Sail Numbers, Luff Tape / Boltrope / Luff Slides*, Leech and Foot cords w/ cleats and Spectra webbing for all corner attachments. (*Specialty Luff and/or Headboard hardware is not included in any sail quotation provided and sail quotations will be modified accordingly if required or as requested.)
Sobstad also provides TriRadial sail construction, in both Racing and Cruising sail applications, out of laminate and woven material offerings from contemporaneous sail cloth suppliers. If you are interested in a TriRadial sail construction, please simply note that in the "Comments" section located in the "Request a Sail Quotation" form.
