From A$3,921.50 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,110.70 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$5,128.20. Every mainsail is cut to the Beneteau 456 (short mast) rig (P 14.94 m, E 4.12 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 16.89 m, J 5.46 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$4,968.70.
A Size 9 (106 m²) asymmetric suits the Beneteau 456 (short mast) fore-triangle. It starts at A$3,036, or A$4,016.10 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (14.3 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (10.8 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 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.
For a race programme, a Sydney to Hobart or a bluewater expedition, our sister loft Kraken Sails designs laminates, membrane sails and storm wardrobes for the hard end of sailing.
