Formula Ultra

Technology

Formula Ultra is Challenge’s new multi-hull specific line of laminate fabrics developed from our Super Series GP high-end race fabrics. These styles were designed for the most demanding clients and performance applications, and are both the lightest and the highest modulus (least stretch) materials at any given fabric weight and DPI.

Less film weight, better fiber coverage across the surface, and straighter filaments like Super Series GP
For the Formula Ultra multihull series we use multiple layers of the lightest films and two layers of 200 denier inlaid X UPE fiber on either side of the structural yarns
100% UPE for warp loading bearing yarns.
UPE (UHMWPE) is one of the highest modulus fibers available, while at the same time being the most durable. The fiber has high resistance to UV and is nearly impossible to break
