From A$4,755.30 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,991.80 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$6,250.20. Every mainsail is cut to the North Wind 43 rig (P 14.45 m, E 5.27 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 17.05 m, J 4.80 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$4,414.30.
A Size 9 (106 m²) asymmetric suits the North Wind 43 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 (14.5 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (13.3 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 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.
