HighTech
Cruising Line
Advanced technology combined with
functionality
Our HighTech Cruising -line was originally
designed for the exceptional needs of single handled sailors.
These sails offer great performance with no concessions
to durability and lastingness. Numerous details like
- radial panel layout
- large stress-aligned corner patches and
- foam core / tapered battens
make these sails the best on the market. They
tolerate a lot of use and abuse, which is important when
sailing at open waters with a small crew. The base of our
HighTech Cruising -line is a full-batten mainsail and a
roller-furling genoa both made of Radial Wide Dacron cloth.
In boats over 40 feet we also use stronger DC-taffeta/Mylar
and ACL Mylar cloth, which is soft but tough. By using a
radial panel layout the number of horizontal seams is brought
down to only two, which considerably reduces the risk of
breakage. The horizontal seams are prone to wear and tear
and most breakage start from a worn seam. A radial cut sail
retains Its designed shape on a wide wind range. The sail
requires less trimming and the boat heels less because the
flow remains in the front of the sail as designed.
The performance of a reefed furling genoa
is increased by a foam padding sewn into the luff of the
sail, flattening out the sail and keeping the luff from
wrinkling while reefed. Our HiTech Cruising -line is suitable
for boats from 30 to 60 feet; however, the seas you sail
are even a more important factor. Our HiTech Cruising -line
is perfect for extended cruises at open seas and for those
who appreciate reliability and safety. Invest in quality
