ECOPACKTM Technology
Groundbreaking Innovations Now Coming to Sailcloth
In 2020, Challenge launched a new company called Challenge Outdoor, spearheaded by world champion sailor and technical textiles expert, Hale Walcoff. Hale had a vision to produce light, durable, and UV resistant materials for the outdoor sports industry using 100% recycled polyester. He wanted to produce fabrics that were best in class for the industry while being environmentally friendly. What outdoor enthusiast doesn’t want to protect the outdoors?
Starting in September 2020, we have designed and developed over 100 new products which contain recycled plastic bottles (PET) repurposed into polyester film and fiber. These materials are laminated into composite fabrics, using our proprietary adhesive which does not contain any polluting solvents or VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). Others laminate with solvent-based adhesives along with energy-intensive drying ovens. They may claim to be ‘carbon neutral’ by buying carbon-offsets after polluting; Challenge has taken the progressive step of eliminating harmful chemicals from the start!
As polyester film is the building block for most sailcloth and outdoor laminates, we developed Challenge RUV™ – the first 100% recycled PET film that is 97% UV resistant. Challenge RUV™ lasts 5 times longer in the sun than conventional film used in other fabrics – a big breakthrough in extending performance.
Marblehead ECOPAKTM
Recycled Fabric
The worlds only composite fabric with 100% recycled fiber and film.
Constructed with REPREVE® rPET fibre, Eco is longer lasting, absorbs 80% less moisture, and has better UV resistance and colour retention
Hundreds of customers worldwide are currently using and appreciating the benefits of ECOPAK™ fabric as we continue to develop new styles and colours. We have proven the concept, the manufacturing processes are in place, and the critical supply chain of recycled raw materials is nailed down. We are now developing racing and cruising sailcloth using the same environmentally friendly technology, and on-thewater testing has shown superior shape-holding and durability. Later in 2022 we will be offering ECOPAK™ technology in sailcloth with 100% recycled fiber, film, and taffeta. The only non-recycled component will be our own environmentally friendly adhesive, which has about 30% better bond strength than conventional solvent-based systems. Every yard of Challenge recycled sailcloth will contain about 20 plastic bottles and save about 1 lb. of carbon emissions compared to standard laminates.
As lovers of the outdoors and dreamers riding the wind and the waves, the sailing industry should be at the forefront of Reusing, Repurposing and Recycling. Until now, sustainable sailcloth options have been somewhere between limited and non-existent. This is about to change, and Challenge is leading the way!
Sustainable Composite Textiles
Non-Toxic Adhesive
Laminated into composite fabrics, these materials do not contain toxic solvents or volatile organic compounds.
Recycled Film
The proprietary film backing is 100% recycled and 97% UV resistant, lasting 5 times longer in the sun than conventional film used in other fabrics – a major breakthrough in extending performance.
Innovations
Challenge Research & Development has leveraged advanced technology to produce a full range of product lines for our customers. Our innovations meet every force that a sail will face. Our R&D engineering team has produced the highest quality constructions for both racing and cruising woven applications. Our fabrics have more interlockings than those of our competitors, leading to the Challenge mechanical advantage.
Fiber 104
Fiber 104 is the highest shrinking polyester yarn used in sailcloth according to our tests. The high shrinkage makes the tightest woven fabrics. It is much more expensive than the other leading fibers and is the most exclusive polyester yarn in the industry, proprietary to Challenge Sailcloth.
Power Shrinkage
Strong sailcloth contains fibers that are highly shrunk during the manufacturing process, before it is sewn into a sail. This creates a fabric that is already in its equilibrium state before it is put to use. Challenge Power-Shrinkage technology allows yarns and fabric to achieve maximum shrinkage. It improves the performance of sailcloth in the warp, fill and bias direction. Challenge Fiber 104 has the highest power shrinkage properties of any fiber used in the industry.
Warp-Drive
Challenge Warp-Drive fabrics use patented weaving technology that aligns the strength of zero crimp warp fibers to match the load of the sail. It is the most important woven sailcloth innovation in decades. Radial sails load fabrics in the warp direction. In order to align the mechanical strength of the sailcloth with that load, Challenge weaves Warp-Drive with zero crimp warp fibers. The straight warp yarns do not stretch under load and allow radial sails to hold their shape. As seen on Sir Robert Knox Johnston’s Open 60 Grey Power, the fabric maintains its shape under heavy use. For the first time ever, Challenge woven sailcloth can be used on large tri-radial sails and sailors can have the strength of a laminate with the durability of a woven, and it does not mildew.
Interlockings
Interlock is a unique Challenge process which quantifies the tightness of the weave. The number of yarn crossings in sailcloth is what matters most for performance. In woven fabrics, yarns pass over the first fiber and curve under the next, “locking” them into each other. These yarn crossings, or interlockings, are what create the mechanical advantage in woven sailcloth and resist bias loading. The higher the quantity of interlockings, the higher the performance of the sailcloth. Challenge Fiber 104 has the highest power shrinkage properties, which creates the greatest quantity of interlockings. Our fabrics have more interlockings than those of our competitors. Other fabrics rely more on resin for stability. Resin breaks down over time and these fabrics are prone to bias stretch.
High Mass Fibers
Challenge aligns higher mass fibers on the surface area of the sailcloth, to protect against UV degradation, tearing, breaking and abrasion. Our woven dacron has been proven to offer excellent durability in sails. The most important factors are fiber diameter (denier) and fiber type. The more massive the fiber, the longer the fabric will last in the sun.
High Tenacity
Every line of Challenge Sailcloth woven fabric contains high tenacity yarn. Our fabrics perform under load and abrasion. High tenacity fibers match the load. Challenge engineers have invested time and resources to find the highest quality high tenacity yarn for our customers.
UVR Technology
Challenge UVR Technology is the most efficient, cost effective way of extending sail life. Our sailcloth is designed to endure the elements and maintain performance under extended use in the sun.
Understanding Sailcloth
Low Aspect Sailcloth
Challenge makes two versions of many of its super premium & premium woven dacrons. We engineer different constructions to align the strength of the fibers with the load direction of the sail. One is not better than the other. They are both engineered for a specific application.
A Low Aspect Sail is short and wide. The loading directions are not parallel, and run more toward the center of the sail. Low Aspect cloths generally have larger warp yarns than in a high aspect fabric, and while the fill yarn is bigger than the warp yarn, they are closer to equal size than in a High Aspect Cloth. There is more even crimp between the two fibers. The even crimp allows the yarns to grab each other, this creating a strong resistance to bias stretch.
What does low aspect sailcloth look like?
Low aspect sailcloth has larger warp yarns than fill yarns, however the two fibers are proportionally closer to the same size than a high aspect cloth. The proportional sizes of the years allow them to grab onto each other generating a greater resistance to bias stretch. The strength of the bias is matched with the more bias-prone loading direction of the sail (as seen in the picture to the left).
High Aspect Sailcloth
Challenge makes two versions of many of its super premium & premium woven dacrons. We engineer different constructions to align the strength of the fibers with the load direction of the sail. One is not better than the other. They are both engineered for a specific application.
A high aspect sail is tall and thin. It generates the most load along the leech. A High Aspect cloth generally has larger fill yarns and is very strong in the fill direction. The warp yarns almost touch each other in the weave, creating tunnels in the construction which keeps the fill yarns geometrically straight and low stretch.
We design constructions to align the strength of the fibers with the load direction of the sail. As seen below, a high aspect sail has a different loading direction than a low aspect sail. They would use different cloth.
What does high aspect cloth look like?
High Aspect sailcloth has very large fill yarns and is very strong in the fill direction. There is a high quantity smaller warp yarns that are crimped. As shown in the picture to the right, the warp yarns (vertical) almost touch each other, creating tunnels which keep the fill yarns geometrically straight, which generates low stretch.
Warp Fill & Bias
You will often hear sailmakers talk about a “fill oriented” or a “warp oriented cloth. Sailcloth is woven on a loom. The loom beams long yarns down the vertical direction of the cloth. These vertical yarns are called warp yarns. The loom also shoots fibers horizontally across the loom, allowing the warp yarn to go “over and under” it. The yarns then “interlock” together, however one yarn is always straight, and the other yarn “crimps” around it.
Warp & Fill
Warp yarns run vertical along the roll of the cloth. Fill yarns run horizontal. A fill oriented cloth has a straight fill yarn and a crimped warp yarn. A crosscut sail is fill oriented, meaning that the fill direction is stronger than
Crosscut & Tri-Radial
A crosscut sail uses fabric that is woven such that the fill yarn is stronger than the warp yarn. A Tri-Radial sail uses fabric where the warp yarn is stronger than a fill yarn. Traditionally, tri-radial sails were only made with laminate or membrane cloth, because it is extremely hard to weave a warp-oriented cloth. Challenge Sailcloth invented the first warp-oriented woven dacron, allowing a warp oriented woven dacron to be used in a tri-radial sail.
Please read High Aspect and Low Aspect to understand the loading direction of a fabric.
the warp direction, due to the crimp. Crimped fibers can be pulled until they are straight. Over time and under pressure, this will happen, causing the fabric to stretch in that direction.
Bias Direction
The bias direction of cloth is the diagonal direction, where there is no yarn directly aligned with the load. This is the weakest direction of cloth, and is what we spend much of our time developing. Challenge Fiber 104 “interlocks” more than any other type of cloth. The interlocks create mechanical advantage, which strengthens the bias. We engineer our constructions to math the load of a sail.
Crosscut
A crosscut sail uses cloth that has straight fill yarns and crimped warp yarns. It aligns the strength of the fill yarn with the load bearing direction of the sail.
Tri-Radial
A tri-radial sail uses Warp-Drive cloth that has straight warp yarns and crimped fill yarns. It aligns the strength of the warp in the load bearing direction of the sail.
How do the yarn strengths dif fer between a Crosscut sail and a Tri-Radial sail?
A crosscut sail aligns the straight fill yarn with the load direction.
A Tri-Radial sail using Challenge’s Warp-Drive aligns the straight warp yarn with the load direction.
Weaving Crimp
Sailcloth is woven on a loom. During the weaving process, one yarn becomes straight and the other crimped.
Sailcloth is woven on a loom. At the beginning of the weaving process of a crosscut dacron, large spools of warp fibers are wound off a creel through fairleeds onto large warp beams. The warp beams hold thousands of fibers before feeding them onto a loom. The warp fibers are then fed down the loom and go “over and under” fill yarns, which are shot across horizontally. During the process of going “over and under” the fill yarns, the warp yarns crimp.
The picture to the right shows a crimped warp yarn on top, and a straight fill yarn on the bottom. Crosscut oriented sailcloth is stronger in the fill direction because the fill yarn is already straight. It is more prone to stretch on the warp direction, because the warp yarn can have it’s crimp pulled out of it
Challenge engineers design constructions to optimize threadline strength.
The picture to the right shows a microscope photo of sailcloth, that has been specifically dismantled to demonstrate crimp.
The fibers going horizontally on the picture are the fill. The fibers going vertically are the warp. As you can see, the fill is straight and the warp is crimped.
Challenge Sailcloth designs each warp and fill yarn, taking into account many factors, including denier and tenacity. We use numerous combinations of warp and fill constructions to generate the greatest mechanical advantage in sailcloth.
The more times the warp and fill yarns Interlock together, the strong the sailcloth. Challenge Premium Fabrics have the highest interlock count of any woven cloth in the world.

Marblehead
Marblehead gets its name from the East-Coast sailing town of Marblehead, Massachusetts.
Challenge was asked to develop the highest quality woven for the most demanding and quality conscious sailors. As many sailors know, a boat is fast when its sail keeps its air-foil shape! When a sail stretches and loses its shape, it starts to luff and flutter and does not sail as fast. As a company, Challenge Sailcloth focuses on woven technology. They have not invested in membrane technology, and have continued their pursuit of the best sailcloth. Our philosophy is to make weaves that rely on the strength of their proprietary fibers and constructions.
What matters most for a strong and durable sailcloth is the number of yarn crossings. In a woven fabric yarns pass over the first fiber and curve under the next, ‘locking’ them into each other. It is these yarn crossings, or ‘Interlockings™’, which resist shape distortion. Challenge developed Fiber 104 with the sole intention of creating a fabric with most Fiber Interlockings. When Fiber 104 is woven in both directions of a sailcloth, it leads to a sail that relies on the strength of a tight, dense weave, rather than short-term chemical finishes. It allows sailmakers to design with lighter fabrics in heavier applications. This Interlock technology created Marblehead.

Warp Drive
Warp Drive styles are the best choice for sailors who want the performance of a laminate, but the durability of a woven. Warp Drive styles have very high Warp load path strength, but unlike a laminate, will not mildew, delaminate or crack over time. It will last as long as a traditional crosscut sail, and hold its shape very well. This fast growing style has become very popular with sailmakers who have performance cruising and club racing customers who demand performance, but are really not a good fit for a laminate or membrane sail. These styles are made using Challenge’s patented process for weaving straight warp yarns in heavy fabrics. The specialized fill yarns take the crimp during weaving and encapsulate the loaded bearing Warps. Warp Drive styles have won races against laminates and membranes, and have also been used as fantastic offshore voyages.
Fabric Properties
Warp Drive has six styles with true zero crimp for ultimate performance. 4.11, 5.11, 6.11, 8.11, 10.11 and 12.11 are woven with absolutely zero crimp. Warp Drive has four styles that are woven with our famous High Mass Fiber Technology. In these styles, we use larger fill yarns for enhanced UV and Abrasion resistance.

Palma
Performance Cruising Laminates
Our new Palma Cruise Laminate line are cutting edge UPE enhanced fabrics, specifically designed for modern cruising boats and sailors who are interested in performance and good sail shape while enjoying their leisure time on the water. Cruisers like to go fast as well!
UPE is short for UHMWPE, which is an acronym for the chemical name of branded fibers like Spectra and Dyneema. UPE is a high modulus fiber like aramid (Kevlar) and carbon fiber. This means the fiber is very low stretch, which is important for good shaping holding, the key to boat speed. But unlike Aramid and carbon, UPE fiber is very tough and durable. It is exceptional in UV (much better than Dacron), hydrophobic (does not absorb water), and all but impossible to cut or tear, making it the perfect high modulus fiber for cruising sailcloth. The result is a high performance sail able to carry high loads without sail shape distortion, and at the same time being extremely durable and long lasting.
Environmentally, Palma sets the standard by which all other laminate sailcloth will be judged. 100% recycled polyester fiber and recycled film. Challenge uses a propriety adhesive system that contains no PFAS’s or solvents to bond all the materials together. Our adhesive system also leads the industry in terms of both adhesion and weathering. While others are content with purchasing carbon offsets and trumpeting their green washing credentials.

Super Durable Spinnaker Fabric
Challenge is excited to announce its next generation coated cruising spinnaker fabric. Proven in the Clipper Cup Around the World Race, spinnakers made of Fibermax were used without replacement on boats sailing over 50,000 miles. All but one person on the many boats are amateurs, so the chutes are used and abused over and over again. No spinnaker cloth but Challenge has been used on the Clipper Cup sails for the last 20 years.
Coated finish for easy cutting on vacuum tables
High tenacity nylon fibers provide excellent breaking and tear strength, and abrasion resistance
Very tight weave, dense constructions
Durable coating has excellent adhesion, with no crazing or white-out common on lesser fabrics
Firm finish provides low stretch and high performance for big boat or dinghy racing
Dyed bright white finish offers superior UV resistance to natural Fabric width is 60” / 150 cm
Insignia & PSA Fabric
PSA Fabrics
Challenge PSA fabrics use an acrylic based pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds aggressively to woven and laminated sailcloth.
Insignia Fabrics
Polyester Insignia Fabric adhesives are specifically formulated to peel away from the sail without leaving residue.

Clipper Canvas
The cruising cloth for traditional and classic craft with the authentic look and feel of canvas.
Spun polyester yarns in both warp and weft
Colouration system imparts UV protection
Anti-soil and water repellent finish
Range of 5 different weights
Superior durability
Rot proof
Advisory Note:
To maintain the authentic feel of canvas, spun polyester as opposed to continuous filament (Dacron) is used. A feature of spun polyester, is a greater level of yarn and fabric irregularities. The customer must accept this as a natural characteristic of this authentic canvas product. Clipper Canvas can also be subject to occassional colour variation due to the traditional processes employed.

Sailmaker’s guide
Everything a sailmaker needs to know about Seldén sail hardware.
Introduction
This guide is intended to provide sailmakers with the information necessary for them to ensure that rig and sail will be compatible. It covers the major part of Seldén’s production from 1977 onwards. The information generally applies to Kemp products of the same period.
Masts between 1977 and 2002 are normally type D or E (conventional masts) or type R (furling mast). Masts from 2003 are type C (conventional masts) or type F (furling masts). With the introduction of new C- and F masts from 2017, these masts are now denoted C (2003), C (2017), F (2003), F (2017).Each section of the guide is marked with mast type to help the reader in locating the correct information.
Although this Guide is primarily aimed at Sailmakers, the content should assist our end customers in making the best use of our impoved product.
However, we would point out that this guide is only intended as an aid, and that variations can occur.
It is the sailmaker’s responsibility to ensure that the sail suits the rig.
The following information must be given to the sailmaker by the customer:
Mainsails
Conventional mainsail with ”short” battens.
Furling mast mainsails

Mast section measurements are given as follows:
Section Length (170 mm)
Section Width (115 mm) Fig. 2.a
Section Length/Section Width (i.e. 170/115). Take note of the mast section shape. This will help identification and the use of correct measurements. The Section Length of the mast can usually be found in the number engraved at the mast heel. For example K23-170-1233.

3.5 OWS (Outer Wheel Support) slider
Seldén OWS sliders are designed both as batten sliders and webbing sliders. Each model is available in 5 different versions. One version fits Seldén E-sections (1977-2002) and older Seldén/Kemp oval sections. Any of the other 4 versions fits most of all other mast brands on the market.
OWS sliders do not fit Seldén C-section for which MDS-sliders should be used.
OWS slider for webbing
To acheive maximum strength, the OWS slider should be attached to the main sail using a webbing strap.
2000N (200 Kp)
OWS slider for batten
The OWS batten slider is designed to take compression load from the batten in a full batten main sail. To achieve optimal function and strength, use Seldén toggle M10 stud 511-739-01.

About Our Battens
Production
The range benefits from the latest production techniques, offering a stiffer, stronger product. They are moulded from stiff, high-strength VINYLESTER using compressed glass strands for ultimate longitudinal strength. On test they are up to 35% stronger than comparable battens.
The finished batten features a shrink-wrapped plastic coating to make the handling in the sail pocket easier and protect from shards and splinters.
End Caps
End Caps are provided with both Leech and Full Tapered Battens. Leech Battens have them attached at either end. Full Tapered Battens have them provided separately for ease of personalising the length.
Costs
With the benefits of new production techniques, we can offer this range at very competitive prices, allowing you to minimise your production costs. Compared with competitors, the saving can be over 50%.
Samples
A sample KEYRING of all sizes and shapes is available to sailmakers on request.

Thread is the most important part of putting together any item alongside the correct fabric selection. Thread is available in a range of materials, finishes and sizing and if you are changing thread or manufacturers can be confusing. The most common thread material is Polyester or polyester Dacron this is the most common marine thread you will find sail and cover makers. They are UV resistant and some options include an anti-wick treatment which means that the thread has a lubricant that repels water and keeps the water from traveling down the thread and into the needle hole. This helps to keep the water from seeping through. The most important factor in keeping water from seeping through the holes is using the correct size needle with the right thread. Overly large needles will poke holes water can get through.
Gortex® is associated with the brand name Tenara®, the first PTFE thread of its kind to hit the market. In the beginning, it was a flat fiber that most sewing machines could not accommodate. Over the years, they modified their process and came out with a twist thread that could be used with most sewing machines. This thread offers a long life guarantee but does come with a higher price point, and is slowly becoming more asked for and offered.
We offer a range of thread options which we have chosen over time to offer the best possible products and quality for our customers. We stock as standard Heminway and Bartlett (Coats) Dabond in either plain or Anti Wick. Invincible which is made for us to our own specifications and colours by Amann threads, and Tenara by Gore.

Definitions
1. The traditional weight of sailcloth in "sailmakers' ounces" is the weight of fabric 28.5" wide by 36" long
2. "Sailmakers' Ounces" are also known as "US Ounces"
3. Ounces per square yard are also known as "UK Ounces"
4. Denier is a measured yarn weight. It is equal to the weight of 9000 meters of yarn measured in grams
Material Grades
"Unless otherwise specified, all stainless steel quoted in this catalogue is Type 316 marine grade. Plastic products, when used for loaded applications, are generally manufactured using Nylon 6, Nylon 66, or Acetal. Non Loaded products are generally manufactured in Polypropylene.
We can advise on the suitability of plastic for various applications where a choice of material is available."
Breaking Loads are for guidance only and do not form part of any warranty. All loads are quoted assuming a straight pull using shackles to secure to test the equipment. Where the load on a buckle is not straight the strength should be reduced.
Where formulas have been used to obtain a components breaking load etc. an ultimate tensile stress has been assumed of:
1. 500N/mm2 for stainless steel
2. 300N/mm2 for aluminium
3. 350N/mm2 for carbon steel
In many tests where buckles, D rings, etc. have been pulled using webbing, failure of the webbing occurs before the buckle reaches its Breaking Load. Test data is available on request and tests can be made on customer's applications if required. Buckles are used in a variety of applications and the factor of safety for Safe Working Loads may vary. Our recommendation is that the safe working load be one fifth of the Breaking Load.
