Description:
The X-Ply Black by Loftsails is a high-strength reinforcement laminate designed for sail construction, repair and reinforcement work. Made from a cross-woven scrim embedded in a durable polyester film, this X-Ply material delivers exceptional tear resistance and minimal stretch to help preserve sail shape and performance under load. Its thin, lightweight construction (5.0 mil thickness) keeps overall weight low while providing robust resistance to flutter and abrasion in demanding conditions. UV-stabilized film and a tightly woven scrim enhance longevity and durability for frequent on-water use. The material is easy to cut and integrates cleanly with standard sail tapes and adhesives, making it well suited for patching, batten reinforcements, mast sleeves and custom sail work. Ideal for sailmakers, repair shops and experienced sailors who need reliable reinforcement that maintains precision and efficiency on the water.
