Sail Specs

Every sail we make is computer cut and our tolerances are as follows:

Posted by Tim 21 Nov, 2006

Seams: 0.25 mm

Luff curve: 1.0 mm

All sails have the endobatten construction, which means the seams are the batten pockets. This also means that each panel section must be finished on the edges and the last thing that happens (before the sleeve goes on) is the batten seams are sewn. That means we are unable to correct the luff or leech side if the panels do not line up, the result being the sail could not be made. This is not the case with a conventional batten pocket construction that the other companies use. They can be off by 10mm or more and still fudge the leech or luff edges, but they will be also changing the design. My point being, it is impossible for us to produce a bad sail. If that weren’t enough, we also rig EVERY sail and go over them with a fine tooth comb to make sure the shape and sewing is perfect.
