Cruising Sails - Built for miles, comfort and years

A good cruising sail should set beautifully, handle easily short-handed, and keep doing its job for years to come.
We build cruising sails to last and to be lived with: well-mannered shapes, sensible reefing systems and finishing details designed to stand up to real-world use.
Tell us how and where you sail, from relaxed estuary pottering to longer offshore passages, and we’ll specify a sail that suits the boat, the crew and the budget.
For most cruising boats we recommend high-quality woven polyester (Dacron) for its durability, proven performance and value. Premium cruising laminates are also available where you want lighter weight and better shape-holding for performance cruising.
We can add furling-friendly construction, foam luffs for headsails intended to be used throughout the wind range, sacrificial UV strips in your choice of colour, and full-batten or short-batten mainsail options. Easy-handling extras such as lazy jacks, stack systems and integrated sail covers can all be specified to work together from the start.
