A common concern voiced from the racing sailors is that Glowfast Sail Tape will allow other yachts to know where they are and what they are doing, but this is simply not the case as they are only visible for a couple of hundred metres and with a performance increase of up to 20% your competitors won't be that close for long.
Glowfast Luminous Sail Tapes automatically illuminate when it gets
dark making it possible to see all your draft stripes at the same time
enabling you to analyse your entire sail shape without the need for
artificial light.
Using patented technology Glowfast Luminous Sail Tapes offer
exceptional luminous properties. With as little as 10 minutes
exposure to light they will glow for up to 20+ hours, after which they
will automatically recharge the next time they are exposed light.
Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape can also be recharged by torch light.
Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape is manufactured specifically for the
yachting industry and is made using similar base materials to current
sail tapes, making it lightweight, durable and easy to install.
Lightweight: 220 grams per square metre. This is comparable to
traditional sail tapes and much less than reflective tapes and other
luminous materials on the market. We have also released our new range of
Luminous Cruising Sail Tape which is a slightly heavier but more cost effective alternative.
