This furling jib is made from a solid woven polyester cloth or woven dyneema, 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. Battens which are orientated parallel with the headstay will ensure a more stable leech. This sail is normally delivered with UV protection in the foot and leech, and E-Flex in the luff for better shape when the sail is partly furled in / reefed in heavy wind.
Material
