STRATIS PROCESS
Design
Fiber paths are applied 3 dimensionally to custom load calculations for every sail.
Doyle's in house load and fiber distribution program is applied to
calculate load paths.
The end result - a smooth preshaped Stratis™ sail is fitted to the boat.
PLOTTING
The step of mapping the yarns from the design process to applying fiber
to the base laminate is exact. A fully automated fiber bed allows
for
up to 18 yarns in each pass -
faster than a conventional paneled sail
can be cut out.
Lamination
3
years of research has resulted in an advanced vaccum system combined
with
direct pressure. Our method achieves the best laminate possible,
short of production in outer space.
Finishing
All
of our trained sail technicians have practical on the water experience,
combined
with finishing techniques that come from years of experience.
