High performance spinnaker cloth

► Designed for radial cut spinnakers

Prokote is the new high performance spinnaker cloth and the successor to Powerkote. Engineered to meet the specific performance requirements of asymmetrical spinnakers on the latest generation of dinghies, one design keel boats, light displacement yachts and multhihulls.

The building blocks for the Prokote range are the same warp-oriented constructions found in our Superkote styles, constructions that have a proven record for performance and durability. Prokote features a next-gen PU chemistry, which is 25 percent firmer than the finish of Superkote, that provides unparalleled stability to the cloth, ensuring that the sail remains crisp even sailing in the wettest conditions. Compared to polyester spinnaker fabrics, Prokote exhibits higher resiliency to shock loads and better burst strength.

Based on the same constructions, Prokote and Superkote materials can be mixed in the same spinnaker designs, offering designers the unique possibility to add stability in the leading edge and tack sections with Prokote while using Superkote in the aft panels for a more flexible exit contributing to easier and more forgiving trimming on asymmetrical spinnakers. With Contender Sailcloth’s extensive range of styles, designers can optimize the strength-to-weight ratio of the sail for maximum performance. Prokote, the ultimate choice for professional sailors seeking performance and durability in their spinnakers.
