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.
