EM2 Membrane
We make the world's finest high performance sail membranes
To make the best sails, you need the best materials, and that's why in 2016 we built our own Membrane Plant - EM2, right here in New Zealand.
It's widely regarded as one of the most modern sail making membrane facilities in the world due to our state-of-the-art facilities.
Our legendary production process
Our designers create the optimal flying shape for your sail. We create a 3D mould using the latest sail making design software and perform detailed aero and structural analysis.
Next, we calculate the mark-up, density and layout of the fibres to ensure maximum shape retention and sail longevity. Then our custom made machinery lays any combination of exotic fibres onto a base laminate. The machine's software is so precise, it follows the designer's creation to the millimetre.
It's at this point that we lay the top laminate over a powerful vacuum to eliminate all remaining solvents and oxygen.
The final crucial membrane making step is our unique electronic curing process conducted in a temperature controlled environment. This has the effect of ensuring the best lamination possible for the ultimate membrane strength and longevity.
Element Membranes
