From A$1,592.80 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$1,741.30 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$2,136.20. Every mainsail is cut to the Bristol 27.7 rig (P 9.30 m, E 3.14 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 10.82 m, J 3.20 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$1,527.90.
A Size 2 (43 m²) asymmetric suits the Bristol 27.7 fore-triangle. It starts at A$1,406.90, or A$2,036.10 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (5.9 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (5.1 m²). That makes our Medium (5.7 m²) storm jib the right size. No stock trysail is small enough for this rig, so we quote one to fit.
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.
