Maestro Racing Main Sail - Woven Polyester, Dacron AP
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. Reefs are normally custom made to suit the rules for the class, normally these sails have one full batten and three short tapered battens for optimal trimming abilities and light weight.
Material
The woven polyester used for our MAESTRO segment is a high-quality cloth with improved stretch resistance.

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.
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.
Layout
Available in cross-cut, trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The conventional mainsail with short battens can be used in all weather conditions – upwind and downwind. For heavy wind conditions the sail area can be reduced by reefing. -
Conventional Main - full battens
Sail Type
The horizontal full battens in the conventional mainsail help keep the shape of the sail, and when lowering the sail, it practically packs itself into the lazy jack or zippack. As the sail is easy to use and stable, it is a favorite sail for many cruisers.
