Headsails

A Headsail light enough to make it easy to steer to in light airs but strong enough to cope with the strongest winds.
It’s the only sail we make.

Structure

All of our Headsails utilise a full radial panel layout for the best possible load alignment.
No more cross-cut distortion creases and it also means we can use the appropriate weight sailcloth, saving base weight over a cross-cut equivelant.

Materials

Our Headsails are made solely using sailcloth designed for radial application. We use Contender Pro Radial or Contender Pro Warp-Tech, depending on your intended usage. For dedicated racing sails we use Technora and Carbon laminates or RSQ Polypreg.

Build

Unneccessary weight is removed from the sail with Weathermax LT for the U.V. strip. Tapered Dyneema leech & foot lines for minimum weight with maximum strength. Even the foam luff is lighter using ripstop Stormlight rather than heavy plain weave polyester.

As Standard

  • Full Tri-Radial Panel Layout

  • Weathermax U.V. protective strip - (If furling)

  • Foam Luff - (If furling)

  • Tapered Dyneema leech line

  • Tapered Dyneema foot line

  • Draft stripes

  • RBS Epoxy tapered battens - (if battened jib)

Affordability

Offering a single, comprehensive specification allows us to wildly streamline the build process. It’s also enables us to streamline our ordering and administration process. Essentially if we just offer the best, our cost of transaction becomes incredibly low. Every penny saved is passed back to the sailor. We really are a sailor’s sail loft.
Of course, there is another reason why we don’t offer a huge range of build options, which is that we simply can’t think of a good enough reason to sell an inferior sail.

Design

Our yacht sails are designed in partnership with one of the single most successful championship winning designers over the past 20 years.
We’re one of the only sail lofts in the world who has a designer of that calibre contributing their talent to our yacht sails.

Whilst the cruising world and racing world are different, in essence the goals are the same. To make efficient progress with as little effort as possible.
