EM Membranes
Technology Evolved.
EM Membranes represent great performance and value for offshore and bouy racers. Boats with EM Membrane inventories recently won the 2010 Charleston Race Week. EM's perform well on boats of all sizes from 50 footers like EVOLUTION RACING and VINCITORE to smaller race boats like 4 SAIL, picture here winning her class at CRW.
Each EM Membrane is custom engineered specifically for you. EM is less a sail type and more a process of design, engineer and custom fabrication - a process designed to create the very best sail for any boat of any size.
For the very best in durability and performance, a custom EM Membrane is a great choice for your boat.
EM Membrane Genoa, EM Membrane Jib and EM Membrane Mainsail
When considering a lighter weight, high performance Genoa, Jib or Mainsail for local club or offshore racing, nothing beats our EM Membrane series.
What differentiates this from off-the-shelf cloth is that we design and manufacture the fabric from start to finish. This way we control the fibre density and location throughout the sail. This saves weight aloft and the sail loads more evenly requiring less adjustment to trim.
We use Twaron, Carbon and other fibres combines with Mylar and adhesives. These are laminated under high pressure to remove any excess resin to ensure the best fusing laminate available. EM Membrane sails are also available with internal taffeta where extra durability is required.
While we are engineering your custom fabric, a sail mold is being created using a 3-D program by our in house designers. Since they actively sail on our local waters, their experience will provide you with a better performance sail to suit your needs. A smooth aerodynamic profile will now evolve to become a finished product that is custom built in our own local sail lofts. From stitching to hand finishing we assure you that our sailmakers have taken great pride while crafting your sail.
