The mainsail of a multihull is exactly that: The prime source of drive and power under all conditions. Rigs of catamarans, especially cruising cats, will have a fairly low centre of gravity to be able to withstand the enormous loads in the rigging and to counteract excessive heeling forces which could eventually even lead to a capsize.
Having a strong mainsail with full battens and a very large roach will add sail area in the upper third of the sail, increasing performance. Sail twist in this part of the sail is very important in this respect, both as a source of extra power but also to allow the top of the sail feather away to leeward when a severe gust hits and thus to instantly de-power itself momentarily.
We have ordered a number of Code 0 sails now from Greg and Sam at RTS Australia for both company use and client vessels. The service has been excellent, professional and always a prompt reply. The loft is helpful with meeting production requirements and sails are always delivered on time. For a good quality good value sail you don’t need to look past RTS. After sales support and advise is always forthcoming when needed and Greg and Sam come with a huge amount of hands-on experience which goes a very long way. The Code 0 itself is well made, easy to operate and a gamechanger on all the vessels well have fitted them on.
