Multihull sailboats like catamarans and trimarans offer unique sailing experiences unlike anything experienced on a monohull. Sailing fast without heeling and having a huge deck area has its charms but also demands a different approach to sail design.
As catamarans and trimarans will not immediately heel over when a gust hits, the loads on rigs and sails can be very high, especially in sudden peaks, before the force of the wind is transformed into drive. Well designed and sailed multihulls also sail at a higher average speed, which increases the apparent wind over deck. In a seaway, when running into a wave, shock loads on the rig and sails can again be substantial.
Especially catamarans have significant advantages as cruising boats, offering large deck and living areas, a stable platform without heeling and very little draft. These boats are often used as charter yachts for sailing holidays, or as long-term cruising homes for blue-water voyagers. In both cases, easy sail handling is also very high on the list of desirable features for multihull sails.
Multihull sails are specifically designed to boost the unique characteristics of these vessels. Designed for higher speeds and efficiency, theses sails need to be strong and easy and quick to reef or take down. Our advanced sail design fits seamlessly with modern sail handling systems to achieve this. High-quality fabrics ensure that our multihull sails are strong and durable, even under the most demanding conditions. Depending on the type of sail, we use our entire range of advanced, top-quality materials such as strong but light laminates or only the best Dacron available.
