Bonding sails in Newport
Comments OffA prototype 110% jib is being built by North Atlantic Sails to race in the 2009 Bermuda 1-2. The sail is being constructed as a Transdirectional Loadpath Membrane (TLM for short) and is made up of cross cut panels that are bonded together- not sewn. Jay Everson and the team at North Atlantic designed the sail and plotted the panels with Sailcut software. Then the loadpath information from the design was translated onto the sail as carbon load tapes. The sail will be finished out with leach, luff and foot tapes, a reef point, reinforcement panels at the head, tack and clew, and soft eyes to attach it to the boat. Graphics will complete the project. North Atlantic Sails is a full service loft based in Newport.
