Genoa Luff Tape or hanks
Most wire headstays just accept plain hanks however if you are racing and need a luff tape for a headfoil system such as a Tuff Luff we can make the sail that way at no extra charge. Furling sails also come with a choice of any size luff tape at no extra charge. Luff tape size is usually provided in your furling or headfoil equipment documentation.

Sunbrella will outlast white Dacron UV by about 30%. Prices below refer to leech and foot length combined. Stock sails may be made to order with a custom Sunbrella UV cover for an extra charge.
Colored 9 OZ. Sunbrella only $4.75/ft
White 5 OZ. Dacron U.V. only $2.95/ft
Stock Sail W/Sunbrella UV $1.75/ft. |

Mainsail Insignias
Insignias for all the boats featured in our web store and catalog are available as well as most other boats common boats by special order. Insignias are made of adhesive backed dacron. (Available at time of sail purchase only).
Insignia set installed only $55 |
Sail Numbers For Mains & Headsails
Necessary for identification while racing the boat. Usually your hull number is put on the sail. Available with sail purchase only. (Remember, you need one set on each side of the sail).
Installed: only $35 + $1 per digit |
Mainsail Cunningham Ring
This is a downhaul ring in the luff of the sail a few inches above the tack to which a tackle can be rigged. More luff tension helps flatten the sail for higher winds as well as bring the draft forward for choppy water. A cunningham can be added to an in-stock mainsail before shipping.
Cunningham only $37.50 |
Additional Mainsail Reefs
Our Std. OEM Type mainsails come equipped standard with one row of reefing points. Coastal and Offshore Mainsails come with two reefs standard.
If you think you will need more than one reef we recommend the Coastal or Offshore version sails over the Std. OEMf since the whole sail is built heavier & more suitable for strong conditions.
You may either specify the location of reefs (in height above the boom) or let the sail designer place it appropriately.
Prices apply only with purchase of custom mainsail, (we don’t add reefs to sails that are already made).

Mainsail Foot Shelf
This is a lens shaped addition along the foot of the mainsail to create a very full sail shape when the outhaul is slackened. It gives more power for reaching and running and prevents the foot from bunching up between the foot slides or wrinkling along the bolt rope.
Foot Shelf only $50 |
Loose Footed Mainsail
This is a performance option that allows the foot of the mainsail to become totally adjustable. As you slack the outhaul the foot can become as full as you like without interference from the bolt rope. Best when ordered in conjunction with a foot shelf to help create an end cap effect.
Loose Foot no extra charge |
Full Battens
Increases sail area by about 4-5% over the standard batten sail, giving more power in light air and better sail shape.
Full battens eliminate flogging while motoring to windward or luffing of the mainsail while overpowered. This combined with the elimination of the stress concentration inherent in standard length battens increases longevity.
Full battens will work exceptionally well with lazy jack systems too.
Expect a slight increase in the luff friction when raising and lowering the main, but on most boats up to 40 ft. it is not necessary to use any special luff hardware. Standard slugs or slides work adequately. Slide lubricant such as “Sailkote” works great to reduce friction. |
Powerhead 2+2 Options
This sail has 2 full battens on top & 2 short battens on the bottom. The Powerhead Batten option gives many of the same advantages of having all full battens but reduces the friction in the luff somewhat. A good option for boats 40’+
