This sail is taking the concept of the large roach mainsail one step further. Originally made for performance offshore racing yachts, square-top mainsails have now also found their way on board more moderate cruising yachts. The semi square head is the middle way between the max-roach main and the radical, full square head sail. It delivers more power but is slightly less of a challenge to handle, especially when taking down and folding on the boom, than the full square head mainsail.
As in the max-roach sail but in a greater measure, the sail will twist to leeward on the top section when hit by a gust, de-powering and lowering the centre of gravity instantly. This can help to prevent overpowering and might tempt the crew to reef later than they otherwise would.
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.
