Where woven cloth stretches and the draft moves aft, a laminate holds. Baltic UAX is the performance step up — built to keep its shape when the load comes on.
Baltic UAX is a composite laminate engineered for performance cruising and offshore work. It lays its fibers along the load paths and locks them between films, so the sail keeps its designed shape under pressure — with the durability to handle long passages.

The Baltic UAX Range
A CZ Aramid laminate offered in four insert densities — heavier inserts carry more load. The numbers are the cloth specs the configurator reads from when it sizes your sail.

Advisor Note
Baltic UAX sits between woven Newport and the high-modulus FiberMAX. Choose it when you want a real performance gain over woven cloth without going all the way to a top-tier racing membrane.
