STORM SAILS
Storm Sails are a necessity when sailing offshore in areas
with the risk of strong winds and heavy weather.
They are also demanded
as being part of the sail wardrobe by most international organizations
for offshore racing events. Marine annual insurance premiums are
usually cheaper if leisure boats carry them onboard.
In using storm sails in heavy weather conditions the centre of effort
is reduced which means less heeling and better steering. Many sailors
tend to purchase a storm jib sail one size larger than required so it
can double as an inner staysail for use in windy areas.

Rolly Tasker makes storm sails to standard sizes. They are rugged and
strongly finished to ensure they are capable of handling storm
conditions reliably and give trouble free use. The sailcloth used is
heavy duty dacron constructed with over sized and heavy corner patches
with webbing and hand sewn leather re-inforcement: the seams are triple
stitched and leech lines installed. They are made in plain white with
highly visible orange balls both sides of the sail, or for a
small additional cost the full sail can be made all orange. Many race
organizations insist on all orange storm sails now. Storm jibs have the
option of brass hanks on the luff, or a luff tape if feeding into a
furling unit. Trysails can be equipped with luff slides, or left with
eyelets for parrel beads to be installed.
