Adding to this legacy, the new V-MAX Nylon has been engineered specifically for symmetrical spinnaker designs, ensuring outstanding velocity-made-good (VMG) on downwind courses when a pole-back setup is required.

In addition to AIRX and V-MAX, Bainbridge is pleased to introduce two significant additions to its sailcloth range:  Bainbridge Spinnaker Cruise is a competitively priced nylon fabric which has been crafted for downwind cruising sails where tear strength is a top priority. Ideal for sailors seeking durability and reliability, Bainbridge Spinnaker Cruise provides excellent value while meeting the rigorous demands of sailing enthusiasts.

Mega Panel Cruise has been designed to meet the unique demands of cruising. Mega Panel offers a wide-panel, multi-axial laminated construction that not only produces a smoother, faster sail but also simplifies the manufacturing process for sailmakers. Re-entering the laminate sail market, Bainbridge’s new Mega Panel Cruise product is designed to offer premium performance.  

These latest cloth advancements sit alongside an new development in the Aquabatten range, designed to support durable and high-performing sails for a wide variety of applications, the new AquaBatten TP range is engineered to deliver high performance and durability. AquaBatten TP battens feature precisely crafted tapers that enhance sail shape and overall performance, making them ideal for a range of sailing needs, from casual cruising to competitive racing.
