From A$5,667.20 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$5,887.20 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$7,360.10. Every mainsail is cut to the Palmer Johnson 48 rig (P 16.46 m, E 4.88 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 18.29 m, J 6.10 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$6,743.
A Size 11 (133 m²) asymmetric suits the Palmer Johnson 48 fore-triangle. It starts at A$3,793.90, or A$4,914.80 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (16.7 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (14.1 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.
