Tech Talk
There’s a whole bunch of spooky things which seem counter intuitive with this sail only made possible by our in house computer software. This sail really works. Some of the facts include: the battens are not parallel to the luff - they are actually rolling onto the surface of a cone, they are not sewn to the sail to a straight line - they follow the greater circle route across the surface of the sail, and the sail flattens as it reefs. Ring one of our experts if you have 10 or 15 minutes to spare if you want the full explanation. Suffice it to say these sails give seriously improved sailing performance, control, boat speed and reduction in leeway. Works perfectly with Selden, Z Spar, Sparcraft, Francespar, Charleston, Hood and Proctor in mast reefing spars. It also works extremely well with behind the mast (BTM) add-on systems. Clew UV protection in 50 standard colours.
