Maestro Jib C1 - Woven Polyester, Dacron AP
The C1 is the lightest upwind headsail. It will perform at its best between 4 and 10 kts TWS. The round shape of this sail makes your boat accelerate after tacking and in choppy sea. Many class rules have limitations on allowed materials. Woven polyester is often the only allowed, and the cloths we are using for these sails are treated with high temperature during production and are very stable.
Material
The woven polyester used for our MAESTRO segment is a high-quality cloth with improved stretch resistance.
Performance - Durability - Price
Performance, durability and price indicators are illustrated for each material combination on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the highest. Use the performance, durability, and price parameters as indicators only, and to compare various material to one another.

Furling Jib - no battens
Sail Type
The furling jib is the working headsail for upwind sailing in most wind conditions. It is sheeted in front of the shrouds which gives the opportunity of being trimmed with a narrow sheeting angle.
The sail may also be with battens. If you choose battens, they will be parallel with the forestay to make the furling work perfectly. A sail with battens will be slightly bigger than without battens.
Some other options are trim stripes, different clew attachments, UV cover in foot and leech.
Layout
Available in crosscut, trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The all-round furling jib can be used in most wind conditions. -
FatFurl Jib
Sail Type
The fatfurl jib is the working headsail for upwind in most wind conditions. It is sheeted in front of the shrouds which gives the opportunity of trimming with a narrow sheeting angle.
The sail is supplied with both full and short battens that runs parallel to the forestay to make the furling work perfectly.
The full battens in front of the sail give the opportunity to design the sail with a large area in the upper part of the sail, which again gives a more efficient sail for all conditions; more powerful in light winds because of the larger sail area and more “self-tuning” in heavy winds because the big roach in the upper parts will twist and flattens the sail in heavy winds.
Some of the options are normally 2+2 battens, trim stripes, different clew attachments, UV cover in foot and leech.
Layout
Available in trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The FatFurl jib can be used in most wind conditions. -
Selftacking Jib
Sail Type
The self-tacking jib is the working headsail for upwind in most wind conditions when there is no furling gear to handle the sail, and you are going to sheet it on your self-tacking track.
The sail may be with or without battens. If you choose battens, normally the top batten will be full and the lower ones short. A sail with battens will be wider in the upper parts and thus more efficient. For many boats/rigs the self-tacking jib may be small in light conditions. A Code 0 sail could in other words be very good to combine with the self-tacker to be able to fully enjoy the sailing in all conditions.
In addition to battens, other options are e.g. clew board, trim stripes, different tack attachments and race head foil bag.

Self-tacking furling Jib
Sail Type
The self-tacking furling jib is the working headsail for upwind in most wind conditions when the usage is handled with furling gear. The sail is sheeted on your self-tacking track.

FatFurl Selftacking Jib
Sail Type
The self-tacking fat furl jib is the working headsail for upwind in most wind conditions. The sail is sheeted on your self-tacking track.
The sail is supplied with both full and short battens that runs parallel to the forestay to make the furling work perfectly. The full battens in front of the sail make it possible to design the sail with a large area in the upper parts of the sail resulting in a more efficient sail for all conditions. More powerful in light winds because of the larger sail area and more “self-tuning” in heavy winds because the big roach in the upper parts will twist and flatten the sail in heavy winds.
Even though the fatfurl jib is powerful, many boats/rigs may be underpowered in light wind with a self-tacking jib. A Code 0 sail could in other words be very good to combine with the self-tacking fat furl jib to be able to fully enjoy the sailing in all conditions.
Normally the sail is equipped with 2 full plus 2 short battens and other options are e.g. trim stripes, clew board and UV cover in foot and leech.

Genoa L
Sail Type
The Light genoa is the lightest race upwind headsail for boats set up for overlapping genoas. Typically, it will overlap by 150 %. It will perform at its best between 4 and 10 knots TWS. The round shape of this sail makes your boat accelerate after tacking and in choppy seas.
Some of the options are trim stripes, race measurement, race zipper bag, tell-tale window and different clew/tack attachments.

Genoa M
Sail Type
The medium genoa is the allround race upwind headsail for boats set up for overlapping genoas. Typically, it will overlap by 150%. It will perform at its best between 8 and 18 kts TWS.
Some of the options are trim stripes, race measurement, race zipper bag, tell-tale window and different clew/tack attachments.
Layout
The sail is available in crosscut, trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The medium genoa is for use in 8-18 knots TWS. -
Furling Genoa
Sail Type
The furling genoa is the primary headsail for boats built and set up for overlapping headsails. When used fully unfurled, it gives the boat power in light and medium winds.
The furling genoa can be delivered with a reefing compensator that makes the shape of the sail flatter and efficient also in reefed condition, when the wind increases.
In addition to the reefing compensator other options are e.g. UV in leech and foot, trim stripes and sail number.
A furling headsail that is left on the boat furled in when not in use needs to be protected against degrading from UV. This can be done either with a layer of cloth (e.g. acrylic/polyester) sewn on in leech and foot or with a furlcover that is hoisted with a spinnaker halyard.

When to use

Staysail
Sail Type
The staysail is perfect for heavy upwind sailing, sparing the working headsail from the toughest conditions.
The flat shape and reduced sail area make heavy weather sailing fun, as the boat is well balanced and easy to handle. It is used on an inner forestay, very often with hooks mounted in the luff of the sail.
Some of the available options are e.g. battens, different tack and clew attachments and race zipperbag.

Furling Staysail
Sail Type
The Furling staysail is perfect for heavy upwind sailing, sparing the working headsail from the toughest conditions.
This sail can be used mainly in two different ways; on a permanent mounted furling system inside and below the normal headstay, or with an AT cable in the luff of the sail to be used as a free flying furling staysail. In the last case a 2:1 halyard or maybe a lock system mounted in the mast may be required.
The jib can also be used as a staysail on the same side as the mainsail to balance the boat, when sailing wing and wing with your main- and headsail.
Some of the options for permanent furling system are UV cover in leech and foot, reefing compensator, different clew attachments and trim stripes. Some of the options for free flying – furling: AT cable, different clew attachments, trim stripes and race zipperbag.

JipTop 106 % with battens
Sail Type
The jib top is at the same size as the largest upwind headsail. It is built with a high clew for better control of the leech and “full shape” to perform well on open courses. The prime area is 10-25 knots TWS, 60-100 degrees.
Some of the options are trim stripes, race measurement, race zipper bag, different batten pocket types, tell-tale window and different clew/tack attachments.

Heavy Weather Jib
Sail Type
The Heavy Weather Jib is perfect for heavy upwind sailing, sparing the working headsail from the toughest conditions.
The flat shape and reduced area make heavy weather sailing fun as the boat is well balanced and easy to handle. It is best suited if you do not have a furling headsail as this sail is designed to go on the normal forestay. That is only the heavy weather jib can be at the stay when sailing.
Some of the options are e.g. battens, head pennant, different tack and clew attachments and race zipper bag.

Storm Jib
Sail Type
The storm jib is designed for unpredictable weather situations and thus important to bring on your boat e.g. if you are going to sail long distance or distances where the wind is hard to predict.
There are many different solutions on how to set the sail regarding luff details. Consult your sailmaker to find the best way for your boat and crew.
