Just as with every other piece of marine hardware, whether it's paint or varnish, anchor line, or electronic components, the performance and longevity of a sail depends on the quality of the materials it's built from. Sail fabric is available in all grades, from the cheap (low-tenacity polyester yarns, low-quality weaving and resin finishing) to the great (high-tenacity yarns, tight weave, quality-controlled resin finishing). HONG KONG SAILMAKERS use only the more expensive, high-quality fabrics as in the long run, the investment is worth it. Because the best material is used, we are confident that, given average use and reasonable care, your new sail from Hong Kong Sailmakers should give you a full 10 years of service. As there are so many different kinds and sizes of cruising boats, HONG KONG SAILMAKERS carry a range of fabrics, each designed specifically to address the needs of a specific type of sail. Their two main suppliers are US made Challenge Sailcloth and German made Contender Sailcloth so whether your boat has a low-aspect or high-aspect sailplan, or you prefer a crosscut or a radial cut sail, HONG KONG SAILMAKERS have a fabric construction and weight that is correct for the job. Due to their 20 years of experience in building cruising sails, HONG KONG SAILMAKERS have built up a knowledge base of successful sail designs. A big part of that success has been the ability of their sail designers to marry the right fabric with the right design - even with modern materials and computerized sail design, balancing sail design with sail fabric is still somewhat of an art. That's where experience counts.
