Yacht Sails RJ Brown

Mainsails
Mainsails for racing and performance cruising yachts are cut to a tri-radial design. This generally means there are 3 or 4 seams joining the sections of the sail together. Each of these sections is made from the most appropriate fabric, which is aligned with the expected loads in the sail.

This design allows us to use more than one cloth in the sail construction, which means the cloth is only as heavy as it needs to be in a specific part of the sail.

All patches are radially designed to complement the panel layout and we put significant effort into ensuring the corners are well reinforced and the overall workmanship is such that the sail will give long and satisfactory life.

For lower cost and a lower performance we manufacture using a cross cut design. If you want pricing on this type of construction choose either Dacron - Cruising or Dacron - Performance when filling out our quote request forms.
