Sails are painstakingly crafted using precisely engineered templates and calibrated blocks to shape the luff curve allowances and the camber allowances of the conventional seams. The seams are securely glued with 10mm wide tape for stability in Australian conditions.

The mainsail seams are evenly spaced with carbon fibre reinforced battens at the seams. The headsail seams are low in the sails

Mainsails have taped pocket luffs with a bright stainless steel wire jackstay inserted. The tape is pierced for this wire to be attached to the mast with five loose ties, tied over a 2mm diameter spacer. The mainsail luff allowance is primarily cut to suit a straight mast but the sail is tolerant of back-stay induced aft mast bend to adjust camber at the head of the sail and of mast-ram position to adjust camber of the mid and lower sail sections.

Headsails have taped pocket luffs with a bright stainless steel wire forestay inserted.

All substantial corner patches, flutter patches and reinforcing patches are of white polyester fabric but you can choose white or black luff tapes for either or both mainsail and headsail.

The black IOM insignia is applied as standard and you can choose at extra charge to have registration numbers and country designation letters neatly applied using one-time stencils and black permanent ink.
