"A" Sail Set
for the DragonFlite 95
These sails are made by Windjammin Sails.
These are not the mass produced on some assembly line by someone who probably has never even been on a sailboat like the sails that came from your kit.
Instead Windjammin Sails are hand crafted to perfection one at a time by multinational Champion Scott Rowland, who has over 36 years of sail making experience. Scott only puts out the highest-level quality and most efficient / fastest sails possible. Every sail is made as if it were going on Scott's very own boat that he would take to the next Nationals.
Choosing the Right RC Sail Material: 50-Micron Mylar vs. 1.8oz DW200 Woven Polyester Fabric
When it comes to RC sailing, selecting the right sail material can make all the difference in performance, durability, and control. Two popular choices - 50-micron Mylar and DW200 Polyester Woven Fabric - offer distinct advantages depending on your sailing needs. While Mylar is known for its lightweight speed, DW200 stands out for its exceptional stability, longevity, and low-stretch performance.
DW200: Superior Stability & Long-Term Performance
DW200 is a woven polyester fabric finished with a durable polyurethane coating, making it exceptionally form-stable due to its low stretch and minimal elasticity. This unique composition ensures:
- Minimal elasticity - maintains sail shape over time, ensuring consistent performance.
- Superior durability - resists wear and tear, making it ideal for long-term use.
- Outstanding light-air efficiency - its form-stable design allows it to hold shape effectively even in minimal wind conditions, ensuring steady propulsion.
- Reliable control in varying conditions - ideal for sailors who need a sail that remains responsive without deforming.
Perfect for sailors looking for long-term stability, excellent wind efficiency, and endurance in light-air conditions.
50-Micron Mylar: Lightweight Speed & Precision
50-micron Mylar is a thin film material that is widely used in performance racing due to its smooth surface and minimal drag. Key advantages include:
- Ultra-lightweight - enhances responsiveness and speed.
- Aerodynamic smoothness - reduces turbulence for better air flow.
- Minimal stretch - maintains shape, but it is more delicate than woven alternatives.
- Best for high-speed racing - optimized for rapid maneuvers rather than endurance.
Great for sailors who prioritize agility, quick acceleration, and peak racing performance.
Longevity & Performance Comparison
- DW200 is built for long-term durability, resisting wear and maintaining its shape even after extensive use.
- 50-micron Mylar, while excellent for speed, is more fragile and prone to creasing, requiring careful handling to preserve its performance.
Which Sail Material is Right for You?
- If you want consistent shape, stability, and durability, especially in light-air conditions, DW200 Polyester Woven is the best choice.
- If your focus is speed and agility, particularly for competitive high-speed racing, 50-micron Mylar will give you the edge.
Both sail materials have their strengths, but DW200 stands out for its long-lasting form stability, wind efficiency, and ability to hold its shape even in light breeze conditions - making it an exceptional choice for endurance sailing.
