From A$3,496.90 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$3,697.10 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$4,490.20. Every mainsail is cut to the Beneteau 405 (shoal draft) rig (P 13.50 m, E 4.39 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 15.30 m, J 4.39 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$3,402.30.
A Size 7 (83 m²) asymmetric suits the Beneteau 405 (shoal draft) fore-triangle. It starts at A$2,352.90, or A$3,227.40 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (11.7 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (10.4 m²). That makes our Extra Large (9.5 m²) storm jib and Medium (7.8 m²) trysail the right sizes.
Measure I, J, P and E and compare them with the rig table. We confirm every measurement with you before the sail is cut.
