    SE | Introducing SailX: Data Driven Design and Construction for High-End Racing and Cruising Sails

    Discover the cutting-edge technology behind SailX, the new brand from Sail Exchange revolutionising high-end racing and cruising sails.

    Exclusive Interview with Carl Crafoord on SailX and Sustainability

    Mark Jardine from https://worldmarine.media interviews Carl Crafoord from Sail Exchange to discuss the launch of SailX and Sail Exchange's commitment to sustainability. In the interview, Carl Crafoord talks about the innovative technology used in SailX sails, and his passion for sustainability that underpins Sail Exchange's efforts in resale, reuse, and end-of-life recycling with the goal of preventing old sails from ending up in landfill.

     

    The Evolution of Sail Exchange

    Sail Exchange has been making sailing more affordable and giving new life to used and new  ex-stock sails, as well as used spars, rigging and parts for a decade.

    Increasingly, Sail Exchange customers are buying our expertly designed new sails. Using the latest in Data Driven Sail Design and Construction (DDSDC) technology including Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) enables us to design and manufacture sails that are guaranteed to fit the boat, be fit for purpose, and have fast shapes.

     

    Introducing SailX: High-End Racing and Cruising Sails

    With the launch of our new SailX brand, we provide a range of high-end racing and cruising membrane headsails and mainsails utilising high-modulus yarns such as Carbon, Technora and Twaron encapsulated between outer layers of a non-woven textile (NWT) or polyester taffeta that produce the ultimate in shape holding for both racing and cruising.

    Designed in-house by our expert design team using the latest in DDSDC and FSI technology, SailX sails are constructed with high-modulus yarns such as Carbon, Technora, and Twaron encapsulated between outer layers of a non-woven textile (NWT) or polyester taffeta. This construction produces sails with the ultimate shape holding capabilities for both racing and cruising purposes.

     

    Sustainability Initiatives in Sail Exchange

    Sail Exchange is committed to sustainability and is actively working on resale, reuse, and end-of-life recycling for both Dacron and laminate sails. The aim is to prevent old sails from ending up in landfill. By promoting the resale and reuse of sails, Sail Exchange is making sailing more affordable and reducing waste in the industry.
