Sailcloth Selection

CDX Pro & DCX — Performance Laminates

Two world-class laminate options for offshore cruising performance sails. Both engineered for shape retention, UV resistance, and long-term durability in demanding conditions.

CDX Pro · Contender Sailcloth
DCX Line · Dimension-Polyant

CDX Pro Polyester Cruising Laminates

CDX Pro laminates are engineered for durability and cruising performance. The range is built around a series of sub-assemblies using different weights of taffetas and a 500 denier polyester cross-ply, combined with a 6000 dpi polyester insertion — creating a range of styles stepping up in weight and strength.

TiO2 in the adhesive adds UV resistance, and a robust anti-mildew additive provides advanced protection against mildew. Available in Natural White and Cool Grey. Designed for radial cut sails from 24 to 48 feet.

DCX Line · Dimension-Polyant

The DCX Line is Dimension-Polyant’s answer for ambitious cruising sailors who want low stretch without compromising handleability. A mesh embedded in two films with a special taffeta on both ends delivers excellent warp stretch resistance and high tear strength.

The UVM® Finish coating adds UV protection and mildew resistance. The DCX upgrade over the DC mother line introduces a 9° X-PLY® for significantly increased support for diagonal forces — a meaningful improvement for offshore sailing in variable conditions. Climate neutral certified by CleanTEC.

Key properties: Improved elongation resistance · Excellent diagonal stability · Highly resistant surfaces · UV stabilisation · Mildew protection

Custom Membrane Sails

Where woven cloth reaches its limits, membrane construction begins. Every fibre, every skin, every load path, engineered from scratch for your yacht, your waters, and your sailing programme. Guided personally by designer Ramses Landman.

Scrim / X-Ply Base

The base of every custom membrane sail. A high-tenacity scrim, available in 500×500 Light or 500×1000 Heavy, provides the dimensional foundation on which all subsequent layers are precision-bonded. The X-ply orientation ensures load resistance in multiple directions from the ground up.
