Alisio Conventional Main Sail - Double Taffeta, Vectran/Polyester

The EPEX construction with optimum fiber distribution provides a non-stretch, stable sail shape. The horizontal full battens help keep the shape, and when lowering the sail, it practically packs itself in to the lazy jack or zippack. The sail is delivered in a sail bag thus easy to store and transport.

Material

Taffeta used as an outside layer on both sides adds strength and durability to the sail. It improves resistance against UV, tear, flex and chafe. Taffeta is available in light grey and white. The fiber combination Vectran / Polyester is a popular and competitive cruising choice.

    Conventional Main - short battens

    Sail Type
    The conventional mainsail with short battens still has full top batten. Having shorter battens in the lower parts of the sail makes the trimming and depowering easier. Short battens also make the sail weigh less and is normally the preferred choice for racing. Short battens also mean less chafe against the rig and spreaders when sailing downwind, so it should be considered if you plan to cross the oceans and sail downwind for long distances.

    The sail can be delivered with slides or luff rope, reefs and all other necessary options, for instance: trim stripes, sail numbers, cunningham, over-head leech line, loose foot and sail bag.
