S2Maui’s high performance sails are built with Carbon and TechnoraTM fiber (S2Maui SpacelightTM) which have up to 10x less stretch and 8x higher tensile strength than polyester (which is used by the other guys)

• STRONGER MATERIAL: Carbon warp fibers have eight times the tensile strength and Technora™ fibers used in warp and bias directions have three times the tensile strength
of standard polyester fibers.
• LIGHTER MATERIAL: Technora™ and scrim matrix combined with double pass laminated, light weight films reduces weight by 50% to 75% compared to standard 5 mil sail material.
• LESS STRETCH:Carbon warp fibers used in highest load areas have 10 times less stretch than Polyester. Technora™ fibers also have 4 times less stretch than Polyester. This is necessary for specific load orientated panel configurations.
• MORE DURABLE: The scrim base and extremely strong Carbon and Technora™ yarns develop incredible tear resistance. Double pass lamination ensures a perfect bond with adhesive on both sides of the fibers and helps prevent delamination.

• MORE UV RESISTANT: The opaque and metallic pigments on both sides of the laminate have outstanding UV resistance
