Since GPL Carbon comes in many weights Ullman Sails has been able to use them in boats as small as Capri 22’s up to Mega Yachts and everything in between. Ullman Sails has won National Championships in several classes using the GPL Carbon sailcloth from Capri 22’s and Olson 30’s to Beneteau 40.7’s and the 70’ Sled class.
The GPL Carbon laminate schedule uses a very tough Technora scrim with a Technora X Ply and Large Carbon (3500 to 7000 Denier per yarn) yarns. These large yarns allow the center of the yarn to bend freely without damage while the outer part of the yarn stays laminated to the films as protection for the inner yarn. This makes an almost unbreakable combination.
Shrinkage that is very common in race laminates is almost eliminated in the GPL Carbon because of the large denier yarns used. This keeps the designed shape in the sail for a longer period of time. That keeps you on the race course near the front longer and gives a the best value in racing sails for the serious racer.
