CLOTH
Each kind of cloth has its own special qualitites. We merged them so that
they blend into a perfect composition.
The upper surface is made of 38-gram Dominico Tex
cloth. Basically it's a nylon material, covered with PU
impregnate. Such covered fabric is not very stiff and -
what's most important - has increased tear, stretch
and UV resistance. It is not siliconised, so minor repairs can be easily made
with self-adhesive strips.
Lower surface is made of 34-gram Dominico Tex cloth, contributing to low
weight of the canopy.
The ribs must be as rigid and stretch-resistant as possible. We found these
qualities in Porcher Hard Finish cloth with E29A impregnate (40 g/m2). All
suspension points and leading edge reinforcements are made of SR-Scrim
fabric.
RIGGING
All of the Coden lines (including mains) are unsheathed. Because of low
number of the lines we made sure they are strong
enough by using Technora cores, featuring high
strength and stretch-resistance.
The rigging system consists of individual lines looped and stitched at each
end.
The upper level lines start at the attachment points. Cascade-wise they are
joined to main suspension lines, either directly or via middle layer lines. Main
lines are attached to the risers with triangular quick links (maillons). To
prevent their slipping off, the lines are kept together with a rubber 'O ring'
twisted in eight.
All maillons are made of corrosion resistant, polished stainless
steel, ensuring excellent strength and durability. We use only
the best quality, certified maillons by Peguet.
Stabilo lines run from the outer suspension points to the maillons through
consecutive cascades as well. The same story goes for the steering lines.
They run from the trailing edge through several layers to the main lines,
which are lead through the pulleys connected to the rear risers and then
fixed to the brake handles. Steering lines do not carry any load.
