Maxx from Contender Sailcloth
Often new sailcloth developments work out to be more expensive, for very good reasons, but in 2004 we have been offering one which is designed to save costs for both us and our customers!

Cuben Fiber sails development
Since we produced our first Cuben Fiber sails back in 2000 the material has gained a relatively small but dedicated following. As well as racing boats Cuben Fiber is seen on an increasing number of cruising boats who appreciate its excellent shape holding, light weight and high resistance to UV and flex fatigue.

Carbon sails update
Since carbon sails were made legal for IR 2000 and IMS racing in January 2001 much work has been carried out in an attempt to translate the theoretical benefits of this wonder material into sails that perform well on the race track.

X-332 sails
Despite great recent success in the class, we're not resting on our laurels when it comes to designing and developing even faster shapes for the X-332.

Read about how we're developing the cloth used to win the America's Cup in 1992 into fast sails which are "just so supple and easy to handle!"

New AK Smoke Fabric
Over the past few years we have been using the Contender AK range for the vast majority of our Kevlar sails. For 2001 Contender have improved the performance of the product by introducing a UV absorber into the fabric.
