From A$1,944.80 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$2,102.10 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$2,571.80. Every mainsail is cut to the Columbia 9.6 rig (P 10.09 m, E 3.35 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 12.25 m, J 4.02 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$2,335.30.
A Size 4 (57 m²) asymmetric suits the Columbia 9.6 fore-triangle. It starts at A$1,849.10, or A$2,549.80 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (7.5 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (5.9 m²). That makes our Large (7.5 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.
