Hydra Net Radial is a cloth manufactured by Dimension Polyant that has revolutionized sail cloth expectations in terms of durability and ruggedness. The magic in the cloth is found in the extremely high share of Spectra and dyneema (Ultra-PE) fibers in the (horizontal) warp direction.

The composition of Hydra Net® radial utilises a tightly woven polyester base and ripstop of Ultra-PE leading to a higher tear strength and is without doubt simply stronger over the extended life of the sail than any woven polyester. When combined with a tri-radial panel layout, the result is unmatched, best in the world shape retention. The applied UVi® coating extends the service life and additionally protects against mildew growth.

Radial Hydranet stands in it’s own league as the best option for large cruising yachts who want to stick with a woven cloth. Although it is one of the most expensive cloth options, the cost is offset by the unbelievable durability it provides, these are often the last sails a boat will ever need.
