Contender Sailcloth ZigZag Black Polyester Racing ZZP
Contender’s Black Polyester ZZP has been developed as an economical alternative for the small boat racing sailor and for one-design classes that have restrictions on higher modulus fiber usage.
Still offering the same technical appearance as carbon and black aramid material on larger racing boats. ZZP’s construction uses formed scrim and insertion process to offer exceptional resistance to flex, and greater stability overall. The black carbon coating on the formed scrim also increases the laminate’s UV resistance. If you are considering a new sail for your racer, consider Contender’s Black Polyester as a credible option.
