FiberPath is Ullman Sails’ custom string-laminate racing range. Fibre paths are placed to follow the expected loads of the individual sail, while fibre blends and external skins are selected for the boat, racing programme and required balance of weight, stretch resistance, handling and abrasion protection.
The FiberPath Series
The string layout is designed around the expected loads of the individual sail rather than a universal panel pattern.
Carbon, aramid or specified blends are used to limit stretch and support draft stability; the result depends on the complete sail and its condition.
Fibre and skin choices are matched to loads, handling, expected use and durability priorities with the Ullman consultant.
The current range distinguishes Regatta and Grand Prix configurations; the loft confirms which construction suits the programme.
The FiberPath Series
FiberPath combines a custom string layout with a laminated structure. Ullman describes Regatta and Grand Prix configurations with different fibre and external skin options. Exact materials and finishing vary and are recorded in the final specification for the individual sail.
Fibre paths are mapped for the expected loads of each sail.
Carbon, aramid or a specified blend is selected by application.
Ullman describes a high-pressure, high-heat lamination process.
Film, taffeta or non-woven skins are selected where available.
The FiberPath Series
FiberPath construction is selected to balance load management, weight, handling and protection. No material choice removes the need for correct use, inspection, cleaning, dry storage and timely professional service.
Ullman describes a high-pressure, high-heat process for combining the fibre layout and laminate. Service life still depends on use, handling and exposure.
Custom string paths are arranged around calculated sail loads to support shape control without claiming identical performance on every boat.
Carbon, aramid and blended layouts have different stretch, weight, flex and durability characteristics; the selected specification depends on the programme.
Film, taffeta and non-woven textile options change weight, handling and surface protection. Availability differs between FiberPath configurations.
Corner reinforcement, rings, webbing, luff hardware and batten systems are specified for the individual sail, boat and applicable rules.
These are specification areas, not universal standard components. Confirm the final written build specification with the loft.

The FiberPath Series
The available configuration is sail-specific. The written quotation and build specification control over this general list.
Select the FiberPath configuration with the loft according to boat size, racing level, load case and handling priorities.
Carbon, aramid or a specified blend is chosen to suit the required balance of stretch resistance, weight, flex and durability.
Film, taffeta or non-woven textile surfaces may be specified where offered for the selected FiberPath construction.
Slides, bolt ropes, headstay systems and related reinforcement are matched to the rig and the way the sail will be handled.
Batten number, material, receptacles and tensioning are specified for the sail design and applicable class rules.
Reefs, rings, webbing and attachment hardware are included only where required by the quoted specification.
Measurements, materials, sail numbers and insignia must follow the relevant class or rating requirements.
Draft stripes, telltales and windows can be positioned to suit the sail and trimmer, subject to the final build.
Bag type and handling details should reflect whether the sail will be rolled, flaked or otherwise stored between races.
The design team lays out fibres to follow the expected loads of the individual sail. The layout changes with sail type, geometry and use.
Carbon, aramid or blended fibres are selected for their different stretch, weight, flex and durability characteristics.
Film, taffeta and non-woven textile surfaces offer different trade-offs in weight, handling and abrasion protection, depending on the configuration.
The loft matches the FiberPath model, fibre blend, skin, hardware and finishing to the boat, rules, expected conditions and owner priorities.
Ullman’s higher-specification custom string-laminate option. Fibre layout, skin and finishing are selected for the loads and racing programme.
Custom string-laminate sails available with carbon, aramid or specified blends and film, taffeta or non-woven surface options, subject to the final specification.
