A boat at anchor will often sail back and forth causing several problems. Each time the boat swings broadside to the waves it produces an uncomfortable rolling motion. From a safety stand point it also causes a side load on the anchor alternating from the left to right threatening to break out the anchor’s set.

Don’t be confused by vendors selling V-shaped versions of the anchor riding sail. Those came into existance due those who do not know how to properly rig a traditional riding sail. Do not sheet it on the centerline as that won’t prevent the boat from sailing back and forth on the anchor rhode.

Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right.

Print the downloadable version of the measurement guide you need to organize your measurements.

For custom sails, follow all of the steps and be detailed and specific about your requirements including hardware and tack pin set back. For stock sails focus on the basics; dimensions, cloth weight, and luff types on headsails. Then perform a search by luff length leaving boat type “Unspecified”. A close fit is good but an exact fit is not necessary. Measure according to the instructions below and fill in the boxes. Please be conservative when ordering and allow a few inches for stretch or error. A little short is fine but too long can be a problem.

Measuring

It is best to measure the sails on the boat. If the sail is not available, you can also measure the rig of the boat. Measuring sails that are not stretched to the proper tension will result in faulty measurements. Please do not measure on the ground. If you have any questions, please contact us at Mike@RollyTaskerNA.com or 831-646-5346.

Occasionally rigs will vary even on the same make and model of production boat Failing to measure does obligate you to a restocking fee.

The sail is excellent in all aspects but one... It is well-sewn, well reinforced, attractive, and reasonably priced. But — the gate clips that attach to the backstay don't work well with 3/8" rigging. You can get the clip over the stay easily, and it seems there will be plenty of room for the stay inside the crook of the clip; but the gate that swings inward cannot clear the diameter of the stay to swing back out. It can — barely — if you jam the tip of the gate against the strands of the backstay and lever it over by force. But that is very labor intensive at a time when the wind is howling and you really just want to get the sail up. I will be cutting these gate clips off and tying on snap shackles. Not a big deal ultimately, and I do love my new riding sail!

I am glad you like the sail, but sorry the clips are small. We can upgrade to larger clips if needed. Feel free to reach out to me by phone or email.
