Fibermax
Technology
Challenge is excited to announce its next generation coated cruising spinnaker fabric. Proven in the Clipper Cup Around the World Race, spinnakers made of FiberMax were used without replacement on boats sailing over 50,000 miles. All but one person on the many boats are amateurs, so the chutes are used and abused over and over again. No spinnaker cloth but Challenge has been used on the Clipper Cup sails for the last 20 years.
