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 Originally made for performance offshore racing yachts, square-top mainsails have now also found their way on board more moderate cruising yachts.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.
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.
