| High Aspect |
![]() Fibercon High-Aspect sails are those where the focus of loading is concentrated up the leech of the sail. These sails are recognised by their tall, narrow profile. Only the highest-quality yarns and tightest weaves are used in these fabrics. By using fill fibers that are larger than the warp yarns, all the crimp is forced into the smaller warp fibres. This leaves the fill yarns perfectly straight to offset the high leech loads. This weave, which produces the best non-stretch fabric available, also gives excellent bias control for maximum durability. FIBERCON PRO - High Aspect ![]() Low Aspect ![]() Fibercon Low-Aspect sails have a longer foot length, with the load spread more evenly into the sail. This type of sail also requires fabrics that are designed and woven to the highest standards. A key performance feature for the Low-Aspect range is the ability to provide a good balance between the fill and the bias strength. To achieve this, Contender reduces the size of the fill yarns, making them bend slightly over the warp yarns during weaving. This creates the right balance between outright fill strength perse and bias stability, ensuring smooth and even distribution of the loads throughout the sail. FIBERCON PRO Pro - Low Aspect ![]() FIBERCON PRO - Low Aspect Classic Light Cream ![]() ![]() Radial Wide ![]() Fibercon Radial Wide provides the perfect solution for radial-cut furling headsails. Load directions change dramatically in furling sails as they are rolled up. Bias stability is absolutely critical for shape retention, recovery and durability. Contenders unique solution for these sails has been to construct a range of truly-balanced fabrics offering good warp strength with the very best in bias control. The results provide the most durable and easy-to-trim radial furling-headsails available. FIBERCON PRO - Radial Wide ![]() FIBERCON PRO - Radial Wide Tanbark ![]() ![]() |
