Fusion M® Sails
Quantum is the first sailmaker to offer a complete range of
composite sails using membrane construction designed
specifically for cruising sailors, using the most technically
advanced design, lamination and shaping methods in the industry.
Fusion m® cruising sails use iq technology®, our integrated and
proprietary process that creates sails that are fast, easy to handle,
efficient, and are ready to take you around the world; a feat no
other sail maker can match.
Features and Benefits
- Proprietary design software integrates 3d modeling, aerodynamic
analysis, structural analysis and fiber mapping to determine
optimal sail flying shape and fiber layout.
- Smart fiber mapping provides more fiber in more directions for
greater strength and less stretch, and allows the sail to adapt to
the rigors of reefing and partial furling.
- two-step lamination process uses vacuum bagging, infrared
heat and six to eight tons of pressure to thermo-set the adhesives
and produce a membrane four to five times stronger than
other laminates.
- Superior shape holding reduces heel and helps put you in
control while optimizing performance upwind and down.
- every detail built to the most rigorous construction standards.
Backed by the best warranty and service in the industry,
Fusion m® sails will take you across the Bay or around the world.
Woven Sails
High performance balanced with durability and reasonable cost
are the design criteria for quantum® woven sails. only the highest
quality woven polyester is used, featuring a tight weave and high
stretch resistance for exceptional shape-holding ability. woven
sails are developed using our iq technology® design tools and
engineered to perform in the most demanding conditions.
Features and Benefits
- modern cross-cut construction with oversized corner
reinforcements, extra wide seams, multiple rows of triple-throw
stitching, extra layering, adhesive bonding, double luff tapes,
reef belts, a unique batten pocket system, webbing and proper
reinforcement throughout.
- Flat, pure, aerodynamic profiles are derived through iq®
t echnology and tailored to individual boat characteristics and
expected usage for optimum upwind performance.
