CRUISING HEADSAIL – CROSS CUT – FURLING
Kemp Sails Performance Cruise Furling Headsails are manufactured in our PBXS High Tenacity Polyester sailcloth as a cross cut design. We bond and then seam each panel (including the graduated reinforcing patches) with 2 rows of 3 step zig-zag Sunstop threat that provides advanced UV protection.
This specification includes a luff tape to suit your furler, webbing loops fitted at the head and tack as well as a stainless steel pressed ring at the clew, an adjustable leech line that exits near the clew and telltales up the luff. In addition this sail is fitted with camber lines across one side of the sail and a sacrificial UV protective strip along the leech and foot in white Odyssey fabric. It comes complete with sail trim guide and high quality Cordura drawstring sail bag to store your sail in during the off season.
UPGRADES
Our Performance Cruise Premium Furling Headsails are manufactured in our PORTLAND PREMIUM High Tenacity Polyester sailcloth and offers a number of upgrades to your hardware and finishes. The Performance Cruise Premium specification has shaped reinforcing patches that extend along the leech and foot to assist with load bearing when reefed as well as, an adjustable leech line that exits near the clew through a metal cleat concealed within a secure pocket, a foot line, Velcro luff retention strap and sheet lead indicators. Camber lines are also placed across both sides of the sail, and your sacrificial UV strip can be in any standard Odyssey fabric.
HARDWARE UPGRADE
Adding a foam luff to help with sailing performance when reefed is a great option depending on the sail size and which type of furler you have fitted; please ask one of our team for advice on this subject. Webbed O ring at the tack with back-to-back u/c protection, double taped luff for improved stretch resistance. Over head or around clew leach line systems for high clewed sails.
FABRIC UPGRADE
We offer fabric upgrades that include a range of superior warp-oriented branded polyester sailcloths, and laminate options for radial construction as well as hybrid wovens for cross cut construction such as Vectron.
Other colours of Odessey UV protective fabric are available for a small charge or you can upgrade your UV material to Weathermax which offers a significantly longer life and better chafe resistance than standard polyester.
