Yesterday we went for a shake down sail with the new sails and they look great, we had perfect conditions for testing the staysail with a couple of 20 knot gusts. The only sail we did not try out was the new spinnaker as we decided to wait for lighter winds to try that for the first time. Everything fits perfectly, the sail shapes look fantastic. The sails are excellent, the mainsail particularly is a work of art and has a beautiful shape, so much better than the old one! Please can you pass on our heartfelt thanks to your team at the loft, they have made us some wonderful sails. Thank you very much. See us at YouTube
I ordered a new mainsail, genoa and Code ‘0’ with pole for my Lagoon 380 in Fremantle to replace the twenty year old sails. The ordering process was very simple. Rolly Tasker Sails Australia sent a measurement form to complete. I engaged a professional to ensure these were taken correctly. The new sails turned up as scheduled some weeks later and all fitted perfectly! I have subsequently also ordered and received a new spinnaker. I have now sailed almost 1,000nm with the new rig and my boat performs amazingly! Thank you guys :)

Defining the correct size for your yacht is easy. We have a constantly updated database of sail plan measurements for most production-built yachts. You can also choose the sail easily yourself. For asymmetric spinnakers, you can quite simply measure the luff length on board yourself and pick the correct size out of the table above.
The calculation works for usual production boats and allows using a spinnaker sock. Without using a sock, an asymmetric spinnaker can be up to five percent longer than forestay length, as this sail is set with a curved luff. If you want to use a top-down furler, the luff must be reduced accordingly.
For symmetric spinnakers, the “J” and “I” lengths are needed. “J” is the length between the foot of the mast and the forestay attachment on deck and “I” is the height of the spinnaker halyard block above deck. The symmetric spinnaker leech should be about 95 – 100% of “I”. The Foot should be about 180% of “J”.
