MatriX Aramid class Genoa

 

 

Even before the J/24 Class Rules changed to allow genoas made with aramid fibers, UK-Halsey Houston developed a new class genoa made with the latest sail technology in order to have fast sails available the moment the change took place.

Our new Aramid MatriX Genoa is designed to be fast across the whole wind range of a J/24 genoa. This sail will be much more responsive.

 

 

 

   Aramid is the generic name for yarns such as Dupont's Kevlar. Since aramid yarns have very little stretch, UK-Halsey Texas developed a new genoa based on the experience of our successful Silver-Drive class genoa. After spending many hours on the water two-boat testing with different sails and top-ranked J-24 sailors, we concluded that MatriX is the best choice for J-24 genoas.

   Our MatriX genoa features: super low-stretch load-path aramid yarns, 8oz luff tape stitched with tension and a cunningham cringle to allow perfect luff shape control, 1.5mm spectra leech line with Velcro closure for a smooth leech and a quick adjustment, a tack line patch, telltales and visibility window

   With a properly tuned rig this UK-Halsey MatriX genoa can give you all the speed and pointing ability you need to stay ahead of the competition in wind ranging from 0-18 knots of true wind speed.
