Maestro Racing Main Sail - Film/Film Laminate
For smaller keelboats the trioptimal design is very often a good alternative, considering price and total weight of the sail. 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.
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.

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.
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 full battens can be used in all weather conditions – upwind and downwind. For heavy wind conditions the sail area can be reduced by reefing. -
In-Boom Furling Main
Sail Type
The in-boom furling mainsail is custom made for all furling boom types.
The horizontal full battens help keep the shape and ensure that the furling into the boom runs without problems. The lowest battens are also working as reefing point as they stretch out the reefed down mainsail.
Normal options to include are top UV cover, reefing marks, sail bag, sail number, trim stripes, and other options are also available.
Layout
Available in trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The in-boom furling mainsail can be used in all weather conditions – upwind and downwind. For heavy wind conditions the sail area can be reduced by furling the sail partly in to the boom. -
Fat Head Main
Sail Type
An optimum designed square head mainsail makes the tuning easier. When the wind increases, the top of the sail will twist, and the result is a flatter sail. In light wind the extra sail area gives the boat more power.
The square head mainsail is with full battens in the upper part, but very often with shorter battens in the lower part to save weight and improve trimming capabilities.
This mainsail will be 100 % custom built based on thorough discussions between you and our sales and design team. The sail will be fully optimized to boat, rigging and rules.
Normal options to include are reef(s) prepared for single line or hook, slides, loose foot, sail number, trim stripes (also reflective), cunningham, over-head leech line, but other options are also available.
Layout
Available in trioptimal and EPEX.
When to use
The fathead can be used in all weather conditions – upwind and downwind. For heavy wind conditions the sail can be reefed.
