MatriX Aramid class Genoas T1 and K1

 


Team Bruschetta in action during the North American championship 2011 with AP Mainsail, a T1 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.

Now some years after we have two Genoas designed by Mauricio Santa Cruz (3 times world champion)

MatriX T1 Light/Medium and K1 Medium/Heavy

TL-1 Black (new). Weak winds easy for trimming, soft fibers, smooth surface, this sail can use with more sheet tension than the KL-1, ideal for less tan 12kts TWS.

KL-1 Gold. Weak winds needs more trimming attention, rigid fibers, this sail change quick the speed on the boat than the TL-1, less sheet tension, ideal for more than 12kts TWS.

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
  • visibility window

Our tuning guide has been updated for this new headsail. You will never waist time reading this valuable document; it will help you to get the most out of your new sail right out of the bag. Do not waist time searching for the right settings; we have done that work for you...
