bearing, converging to every load point on the sail. This
layout produces stronger, lighter sails that are much
smoother when set. The sails hold their shape better
with significantly less stretch. Carbon and Technora
fibres are used in conjunction with specific resins which
have been selected for their long term durability
and resistance to high humidity and wet

ABOUT STRATIS
Doyle Sails proprietary sail membrane STRATIS was developed in 2001 when Doyle
Sails New Zealand realised that it was time for a new generation of sails. It was apparent
that across the industry there was a need for lighter, longer lasting sails. From
performance racing sails with higher durability to super yacht sails that required the
physical structure of high modulus fibres to take the huge loads that were generated,
through to cruising yachts that simply wanted lighter sails that were easier to handle, it was
timefor something new.
The STRATIS plant is based at the 7,000 sqm Doyle Sails New Zealand production
facility. The factory has two production tables with multiple fibre laying machines and
laminators on each production bed allowing a full range of sails to be produced from the
smallestdinghies to the largest super yachts.

class innovation and technology. Custom
printingfor weightsavings.
100%CustomMade
The Stratis process starts with EVERY sail being structurally engineered with the appropriate fibre for
the application of the sail. One of the big benefits of Stratis is its ability to laminate more fibre types then
any of the other sailmakers. This ranges from our highest modulus Carbon through to our Polyester
range for small cruising boats; there really is a fibre or fibre blend for every application.
The outside surface is chosen with the client, as Doyle has a huge selection of weights, colours and
surfaces dependent on the type of sail and type of sailingthe sail will be used for.
The key components when developing Stratis has been twofold, firstly the quality of the lamination
had to be unsurpassable. Doyle’s reputation has been built on its earliest catch phrase, “Better
Engineered Sails” so Stratis needed to stand by that. Secondly, each sail is 100% designed and
engineered for the customer's yacht and application. Every time the Stratis machine runs a path of
fibres it’sentirely custom made to that sail.
We are continually developing our laminated sail products in terms of design, materials and
manufacture. Our research department continues to experiment with new surfaces, fibres, adhesives
and techniques with the aim of offering our clients the best possible product while our design
department uses the latest computer technology and design tools to develop shapes and structures
for fasterand more innovative sails.

Dimension-Polyant has developed the lite Skin composite
product to address an overlapping concern for both racers
and cruisers: a light, rugged sailcloth skin for increased
durability. The Lite Skin is a sheet of random array, non-
woven filaments that provides increased abrasion
resistance at a minimal weight gain.
The Lite Skin is further accented with an opaque finish
that virtually eliminates the traditional paneled sail
appearance, developing a sleek visual look. Lite Skin
provides specific advantages when compared to the
standard film/film and taffeta products.

Developed from our successful Aramid X-Tech line, the BX
Line fabrics continue the trend toward a mode balanced
base construction for warp orientated laminates.
The base 0-90 Technora black scrims in this line are fill
oriented for better luff to leech strength, critical in
increased life for roller furling and overlapping headsails.
The Technora black yarn also offers high flex and impact
durability due to its high tenacity. The black Aramid warp
fibers provide load-line strength in tri-radial construction,
and the black dye increases UV resistance over the life of
the sail. Targeted for the serious racer in boats up to 50’,
the BX Line is a hybrid innovation that combines the best
properties of similar fibers to create a long lasting fabric
that will perform to the owners expectations.

Designed to be extremely stable in radial construction with a soft finish for sail handling, the SXI line combines multiple off angle Ultra-PE X-Ply yarns around a load bearing Ultra-PE warp fiber to ensure superior shape holding over the life of the sail. A balanced polyester base scrim provides trans-directional stability and, in conjunction with the Ultra-PE X-Ply yarns, impressive tear strength. The outer layers of these styles are rugged polyester taffetas providing resistance to chafe and impact.

OUR LEGACY
In June 2017, Mike Sanderson and his leadership team of Richard Bouzaid and David
Duff, took over the ownership of Doyle Sails International from Robbie Doyle. This new
age of Doyle will bring together the Doyle group to reach a common goal of global
efficiency whilst keeping the important touch of local attention. However, it remains
fundamental to the New Zealand team that the core values and reputation that have been
built over the last 34 years under the direction of Robbie Doyle remain strong throughout
this transition. The outstanding leadership team across all levels of the organisation will
ensure that the brand evolves with the rapidly changing market. The Doyle Brand is
movingforwardfrom a foundation of strengthacross all of the businesses.DESIGN &ENGINEERING
Doyle Sails operates with a central design team which consists of highly qualified sailors

BUILDINGTHE RIG/DECKMODEL
Detailed drawings are used to model running rigging, sails attachments, and all adjustable rig
elements such as the forestay arrangement and mast jack system. The rig model incorporates the
correct mast material and construction properties, so that the accurate weight, compression,
bending and torsional stiffness are reproduced. The mast and rigging are tuned following the
procedure indicated by the docktune sheet, reproducing the actual rig tensions andprebends.

The global shift towards Doyle Sails in recent times has been revolutionary. Where there was
once a belief that to be fast there was only one option, there is now a growing movement to be
powered by Doyle and seek the alternative.
The performance of race sails is key to the success of any yacht and here at Doyle Sails, we
are experts in high performance sailing, taking pride in showcasing this through our many
Maxi 72 ‘Proteus’ 2017
successful campaigns. We consistently see our Grand Prix race yachts sitting at the top of the
leaderboard including: Comanche (100ft Supermaxi); Info Track (100ft Supermaxi), Momo (Maxi

Doyle Sails has become a leading force worldwide in Grand Prix race sails, from foiling Moths all the way through to the most high-profile Super

“Comanche has been able to realise more of her potential with the addition of
Doyle’s cable-less sails, and I recommend this exciting technology for any size
boat. The big jibs and the A3 are very power- ful and yet significantly lighter
than I ever expected, increasing accel- eration with greater righting moment
available. The sails’ ability to hold their shape at all angles with virtually no luff
sag is astounding in such big sails. We have reduced rig load dramatically with
these cableless sails and our performance has improved in all conditions,
particularly light air. Our new Doyle mainsail is exceptionally high quality and the
reduction in permanent weight aloft gives immediate gains in all winds.”
