Polypreg Finish Contenders Polypreg finish is a unique durable melamine-based impregnation. This finish, combined with the tightest weaves, creates a sailcloth which offers low stretch, excellent bias stability, good recovery, and outstanding durability. All these features are essential elements for sails which will perform well throughout an extended working range and will provide years of service. Polykote Finish Polykote is Contenders exclusive hard racing finish. A hard polyurethane coating is applied to the weave to reduce stretch to an absolute minimum. Polykote fabrics are high-strength, low-stretch fabrics for racing applications. More Olympic Medals and World Championships have been won using Polykote fabrics than any other sailcloth. |
