The Next Dimension in Performance Sail Membranes.
Zeptyr Membranes represent the best balance of performance and value for every yacht wanting to increase performance. We provide the most suitable fibre and cover combination to suit your application and budget. Yachts with Zeptyr Membrane inventories are regularly on the podium or cruising the world. Our sail Membranes perform on yachts of all sizes, from 50-foot grand prix racers to the smallest club racers.
Each Zeptyr Membrane is designed and engineered specifically for you. We consider your yacht’s specifications, typical wind ranges, sailing style, and intended locations to create the very best sail for any yacht of any size.
For the very best in durability and performance, a Zeptyr Membrane is an excellent choice for your yacht.
Z72 Membrane Genoa, Z72 Membrane Jib and Z72 Membrane Mainsail
If you are after the ultimate lightweight, high-performance Genoa, Jib, or Mainsail for local club or offshore racing, look no further than our Z72 Membrane range.
The main difference between a Zeptyr Membrane and off-the-shelf fabrics is that we control the fibre density, placement, and orientation throughout the sail. This saves significant weight and locks the sail in an optimised shape.
We use high-tech fibres like Twaron, Dyneema, Carbon, and other ultra-high molecular weight low-stretch fibres combined with ultralight skins like Mylar and ultra-flexible adhesives. The membranes are completed by lamination under high pressure to ensure a complete structural bond.
While some membrane manufacturers lay their cloth in flat panels and shape the edges to create the 3D shape. As a result, they do not offer ‘true continuous fibre’ solutions. At Zeptyr, we lay our fibres directly onto the pre-shaped sail mould, ensuring a genuinely smooth aerodynamic profile.
If you want all the benefits of the Z72 membrane but with improved longevity and wear resistance, consider the Z42 range. If you want the ultimate in longevity, wear, and UV resistance, then the Z09 range is the answer.
