Rolly Tasker Sails - PERFORMANCE LITE SKIN
DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE-MINDED SAILORS
Rolly Tasker Sails is proud to introduce a new Lite Skin® range of fabrics suited for crosscut sail assembly. The intention was to develop a durable and shape-holding sail with a modern look, efficiently produced for the best price to value, matching the requirements of most performance-minded cruisers or club racers.
Crosscut sails are great to shape through the broadseams, have fewer seams and reduced fabric waste compared to triradial sail constructions and have a clean appearance. The addition of Dimension-Polyant Lite Skin® outer layers protects the film, reduces film shrink over time, offers less water absorption than a traditional taffeta, and provides increased chafe protection from film-only laminates. The external layer is coated with UVt®, DP’s proprietary UV and anti-microbial finish to increase UV protection while deterring mildew growth. The fabric feels soft hand for good handling and attributes a lighter weight than typical cruise laminates with taffeta on both sides. Thanks to the characteristics of laminate construction the sails are less sensitive to delaminating, thus longer lasting than membrane sails in particular in high UV stress areas. The Lite and Medium weights are 100% polyester, constructed for smaller boats up to 35 feet. The Heavy version for boats up to 40′ steps up to an aramid scrim for reduced material stretch.
