for cruising sailboatstri-radial cutcross-cut

This in-boom furling mainsail is made from a solid woven polyester cloth, often with 2-ply in the leech or the woven dyneema (Hydra net) keeping the nice white look for years and years to come. The cross-cut sail design is a widely used design that is a very price conscious choice. The horizontal full battens help keep the shape, and make sure the furling in to the boom runs without problems. The lowest battens are also working as reefing point as they stretch out the reefed down mainsail.
