FURLING CROSS-CUT CRUISING MAINSAIL SHORT BATTENS
Our in-mast mainsails are manufactured in a high tenacity polyester sailcloth, as a cross-cut design. We bond and then seam each panel (including on graduated reinforcing patches) with 2 rows of 3 step zig-zag Sunstop thread that hosts advanced UV protection.
Fitted with webbings at the head and tack and a stainless steel pressed ring at the clew, a luff tape to suit your furler, telltales on the leech, an adjustable leech line that exits near the clew to a cleat and short vertical leech battens that will incrementally increase possible leech area, stabilise leech profile and provide useful reference points for reefing. Camber lines are placed across the sail as well as a furl indication marker, plus a sacrificial UV protective panel on both sides of the clew area in white Odyssey fabric.
Your sail comes complete with a sail trim guide and a high quality Cordura drawstring sail bag to store your sail in during the off season.
