The Screecher or Screacher is specifically designed for multihulls. This is a cross between a large Genoa and a “Code” sail and is highly versatile. In light airs, the Screecher can be used as an upwind Genoa. As the wind increases it becomes a reaching sail and in heavy air, a downwind sail. This makes it the most popular choice for reaching courses on a multihull.
A Screecher is designed with an anti-torque luff for use with a dedicated furling gear. In many ways, a Screecher is quite similar to a Code 0 sail. Like the Code 0, the Screecher can be set in its furling gear on a short bowsprit in front of the forestay for easy handling.
The Screecher when in use will shift the apparent wind forward and increase its speed. For this reason, it is designed to handle heavy loads. The profile will be comparatively flat in comparison to other typical reaching or even downwind sails, which makes it the all-round sail that is especially useful for the cruising crew.
A cruising sail for permanent use, it will typically be made from top-quality, low stretch Dacron cloth and feature Sunbrella UV protection strips along both leech and foot.
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.
