Banks Sails for X-Yacht UK's X-332
Following on from our extensive sail development
programme carried out in the X-332 class over the past couple of seasons
we are very pleased to have been selected by X-Yachts UK to produce
sails for their latest works boat.
Russell Hodgson and his crew will use a full suit of Checkmate fore
and aft sails and Series 2000 spinnakers for their Warsash Spring
Series campaign that kicks off on March 18th. Competition within the
X-332s is expected to be fierce over the six race event that sees the
cream of the South Coast's racers hit the water.
Last year we produced a Checkmate Cuben Fiber Mainsail and No.1 Genoa
for Ian Dawson's X-332 and after seeing these in action Russell has
decided to have his Light No.1 made of Cuben Fiber. This will enable
us to produce the Genoa from a fabric that weighs in at 1.6oz compared
with a comparable Kevlar fabric at 3.2oz, a very impressive weight
saving for a light airs sail!
The rest of his inventory comprises a Checkmate Kevlar Main and Medium/Heavy
No.1, a Checkmate Kevlar Sport No.3 as well as two Series 2000 spinnakers.
To find out how Banks Sails can power your X-332 to the front of the
fleet contact Hugh Myers at the loft on 01489 582444.
