From A$4,213 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,441.80 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$5,432.90. Every mainsail is cut to the Contessa 36 (wing keel) rig (P 14.30 m, E 5.09 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 12.77 m, J 3.81 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$2,465.10.
A Size 4 (57 m²) asymmetric suits the Contessa 36 (wing keel) 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 (8.2 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (12.7 m²). That makes our Large (7.5 m²) storm jib and Large (10.8 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.
