Standard Mainsail
The features of the sail are:
- Designed using computers and the latest software.
- Cross cut to reduce stretch by laying the major thread line
along the heaviest load lines.
- Layered reinforcing at the head, tack and clew areas.
- Double tape luff for strength and ease of handling.
- Pre-stretched terylene rope in foot.
- Fibreglass battens in pockets fitted onto patches and not directly onto the sail.
- Reef points incorporating anti-stretch tape and layered reinforcing at luff and leech thereby minimising distortion across the sail.
- Glued seams shaped carefully and sewn with U.V. thread.
- Leech line with cleats and insignia are standard.
- The lens foot is an optional extra and is a very practical alternative to a flattening reef. The clew outhaul is used to control the lens, it is tightened when on the wind and released when off the wind. The boom remains level at all times, only the sail shape changes.

The Performance Mainsail
The
Performance Mainsail comes with a full length top
batten to provide a positive roach as with the fully battened
main. The bottom three extra long battens are aerodynamically
placed parallel to the foot of the sail which results in less
wind resistance over the sail and also allows the sail to
collapse neatly between lazyjacks onto the boom or stackpack
boom cover.
The features of the sail are:
-
The
full length top batten promotes a positive roach.
-
Batten configuration allows the sail to
collapse neatly between the lazyjacks onto the boom or into
a Stackpack boom cover.
-
Layered reinforcing at the head, tack and
clew areas.
-
Double tape luff for strength and ease of
handling.
-
Pre-stretched polyester rope in foot.
-
Fibreglass battens in pockets fitted onto
patches and not directly onto the sail.
-
Reef points incorporating anti-stretch tape
and layered reinforcing at luff and leech thereby minimising
distortion across the sail.
-
Seams are shaped and sewn with UV stable
thread.
-
Leech line with cleats at each reef and
insignia are standard.

Furling
Mainsail
We work with the manufacturers of various reefing systems to ensure that we produce a sail that sets efficiently whether fully set or partly furled.
|
The features of the sail are:
- Cross cut to reduce stretch by laying the major thread line along the heaviest load lines.
- Layered reinforcing at the head, tack and clew areas.
- No battens fitted and the leech is cut with a negative roach.
- Glued seams shaped carefully and sewn with UV thread.
- Mono-filament polypropylene luff rope is fitted to suit the particular furling gear specification.
- UV protective cover fitted to each side of the clew area.
- A clew block integral in the sail is fitted as standard.
- Leech line and cleat are fitted as standard.
