Sail Cloth

CPM 505

Chesapeake Performance Models announces the
production and availability of CPM 505 (also known as Test 505)

For those of you that are not familiar with Test 505, 18-20yrs ago
there was a sailcloth that was made called TEST 505.

It is a Mylar/scrim laminate that has the advantage of being very light and very strong. The cloth was unique in that it is very stable over a wide range of wind strengths while holding its shape over 360 degrees of load. Other laminates are prone to elongate at +-45 degrees. Test 505 also has a very smooth surface when compared to other laminates and while it could not take the abuse of big boat sailing it was perfect for our hobby. Unfortunately as is often the case is was only put into limited production and soon became unavailable.

After over two years of work Chesapeake Performance Models (CPM) has finally put all of the pieces together to make this sail cloth available again under the new name CPM 505.

CPM has currently received the first production run of CPM 505 and had a fantastic first regatta results at the 2007 EC12 Meter Nationals Championships.
