At Bainbridge International, we’re always proud to highlight the incredible work of our customers – and today, we’re excited to spotlight Tim Carson of UK Sails Minneapolis.
Tim is currently building a mainsail and jib for a Catalina 28, using HSX-P 726, one of Bainbridge’s premium double ripstop woven polyester sailcloths.
why HSX-P?
HSX-P was developed from the start as a high-performance option for cruising and cruise-racing sailors. Backed by the same extensive R&D program as our HSX-V Vectran® sailcloth, HSX-P represents a refined evolution in polyester sail fabric design.
Crafted using only the highest quality polyester yarns, HSX-P offers:
A tight, high-density weave that reduces reliance on resin
A specially engineered double ripstop pattern for superior bias strength
An exclusive Bainbridge finishing process perfected in our Lyon, France facility for consistent performance and durability
For Sailmakers and Sailors Alike
Whether you’re building or sailing, HSX-P is designed to deliver:
For the Sailor
A durable, high-performance fabric with a visible and tangible advantage over traditional plain-weave polyester.
For the Sailmaker
A competitively priced product that’s easy to work with, handles beautifully, and results in a sail that’s both strong and sleek.
We’re proud to support sailmakers like Tim who are pushing performance and quality in every build. Thanks for trusting HSX-P—we can’t wait to see that Catalina 28 under sail!
