From A$14,856.60 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$15,233.90 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$19,290.70. Every mainsail is cut to the Swan 601 rig (P 24.30 m, E 8.65 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 24.80 m, J 7.08 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$11,325.60.
A Size 15 (204 m²) asymmetric suits the Swan 601 fore-triangle. It starts at A$5,767.30, or A$7,230.30 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (30.8 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (36.8 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 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.
