I have used several sails from Rolly Tasker and was always pleased with their construction and performance. Our main and jib for our Lagoon 440 Cat (tall rig) are well-constructed offshore capable sails. Excellent reinforcement and hand sewn chafe leathers. And the sails are priced well below many other options. 60,000 miles later, the mainsail has done its job. Probably could have gotten many more miles out of it if we didn’t sail quite so aggressively. We have had our cruising Cat at speeds in the mid to upper teens, with our top speed of 19.2 knots in 30+kts. I ordered the same sail again and can’t wait for it to arrive. The jib is still performing well, and I expect it will go another 10,000 miles.
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.
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 :)
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.
At Rolly Tasker Sails, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of sail design and innovation for multihull sailboats. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, materials, and construction techniques, we develop sails that are specifically tailored to the unique requirements of multihull vessels. Our team of expert sailmakers works hard to ensure that our sails deliver unmatched performance, durability, and handling comfort on the water. Whether you’re embarking on a leisurely cruise or participating in a challenging race, our innovative multihull sails will elevate your sailing experience to new heights.
