From A$6,276.60 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$6,549.40 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$8,291.80. Every mainsail is cut to the Lightwave 45 rig (P 16.70 m, E 6.15 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 14.80 m, J 5.40 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$4,310.90.
A Size 8 (94 m²) asymmetric suits the Lightwave 45 fore-triangle. It starts at A$2,656.50, or A$3,602.50 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (11.0 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (18.0 m²). That makes our Extra Large (9.5 m²) storm jib and Maxi (15.5 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.
