From A$1,857.90 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$2,020.70 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$2,509.10. Every mainsail is cut to the X-Yachts X-79 rig (P 10.00 m, E 3.50 m) with two reefs.
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 9.30 m, J 2.78 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$1,140.70.
A Size 0 (31 m²) asymmetric suits the X-Yachts X-79 fore-triangle. It starts at A$1,020.80, or A$1,545.50 with a dousing sock.
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (4.3 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (6.1 m²). That makes our Extra Small (3 m²) storm jib and Small (6.1 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.
