Performance Lite Skin Sails

Designed for Performance-Oriented Sailors

Rolly Tasker Sails is proud to introduce a new Lite Skin^® range of fabrics suited for crosscut sail assembly. Intention was to develop a durable and shapeholding sail in modern look, efficiently produced for best price to value, matching the requirements of most performance orientant cruisers or club racers.

Crosscut sails are great to shape through the broadseams, have less seams and reduced fabric waste compared to triradial sail constructions and have a clean appearance. The addition of Dimension-Polyant Lite Skin^® outer layers protects the film, reduces film shrink over time, offers less water absorption than a traditional taffeta and provides increased chafe protection from film only laminates. The external layer is coated with UVt^®, DP’s proprietary UV and anti-microbial finish to increase UV protection while deterring mildew growth. The fabric feels soft hand for good handling and attributes a lighter weight than typcial cruise laminates with taffeta on both sides. Thanks to the characteristics of laminate construction the sails are less sensitive for delaminating, thus longer lasting than membrane sails in particular in high UV stress areas. The Lite and Medium weights are 100% polyester, constructed for smaller boats up to 35 foot. The Heavy version for boats up to 40′ steps up to a aramid scrim for reduced material stretch.

Well made, easy to operate and a gamechanger

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.

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

My boat performs amazingly

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 :)
