Crosscut Mainsails

An Old, Worn-out Mainsail Slows You Down a Lot

Does this Sound Familiar?

  • The boat is heeling excessively
  • The boat sails very poorly to windward
  • The sail is just baggy without proper profile
  • The sail is tired to the point where is tears

Is this What You’d Like?

  • Convert the wind’s force into drive, not heeling
  • Extra boat speed especially upwind
  • Sleek profile for better looks and performance
  • Rely on your sail to take you safely to your destinaton

Everything fits perfectly

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

With this new main I can reef in about five minutes

Having this new sail is totally changing the way that I sail. Reefing the old main was so annoying because the main was all dicey and blown out. So, I would fiddle around with headsails more but I only have three headsails so often I would be either underpowered or overpowered. Now I choose the headsail that most matches the conditions and then use reefing and un-reefing the main as a way to keep my boat balanced. And with this new main I can reef in about five minutes which is just a third of the time of changing a headsail… on this ocean passage I am doing a couple of reef changes of the mainsail every day and every time I do it I am just so grateful. https://www.youtube.com/@WindHippieSailing

Boat was flying along with her new sails

Great price – super value – quality sails – A very happy customer :-) Test sailed today in circa 20kts to 28kts of wind in Southampton water. On a reach we achieved 9.3 to 9.5 kts max SOG with tide and 7 to 7.3 kts SOG against – Boat was flying along with her new sails. It was WINDY :-) Seriously pleased – Thanks Annabel – Great service and all so simple.
