Laminate cruising sails are best suited for sailors who are looking for improved performance through better sail shape, and retention of sail shape over the life of the sail. Reef Reinforcement Belts: Further increases the strength of your reef points and foot of the sail when reefed.This includes corner, reef, and eyelet patches. This adds a tremendous amount of extra strength to the sail. Double Ply Layers: Increases the number of layers of sailcloth on each of the patches.Leech Seam Wedgies: Prevents the seams along the leech from splitting by distributing the load onto the panels.Where a sail might normally have a 30mm wide seam with 2 rows of stitching we would now use a 38mm seam with 3 rows of stitching. Wider Steams: Wider seams and an extra row of stitching is added to offshore sails.Double Tapes: This extra tape layer gives more strength to the outer edges of the sail.Depending on the size of the boat these reinforcements can include: Precision Sail’s offshore spec sails are designed to withstand the strongest of winds. Our offshore reinforcement package is an option for all sailors looking for extra reinforcements. Offshore Reinforcements -only available with the Navigator Package Our designers ensure corner patches and reinforcements are customized for every sail. It’s important to know that your new sail does not use pre-cut corner patches. The corner patches’ extra cloth layers create a longer-lasting sail and prevent premature material failure. Recommended to all sailors, this reinforcement increases the shape retention of your sail without drastically increasing the cost or weight. Our unique radial corner design is stronger and more durable than the competition. Radial corner patches have nearly double the number of sailcloth layers at the corner compared to block patches. Our design team has engineered corner patches that better distribute the load, whether it’s with standard block patches or stronger reinforced radial patches. Due to shipping, round battens and custom tapered battens are not included unless organized with the design team. If you wish to reuse your batten receptacles, let us know and we will build the sail so that you can install your existing receptacles. We often custom order new receptacles or set the sail up to work with clients existing batten receptacles and systems. If you have specific needs or a custom setup, make sure to talk with the designers during your sail design. This means you’ll always be able to adjust your batten tension to how you like it! All full batten pockets come with quality batten receptacles on the luff and a variety of secure leech closures! Pockets are built with tie-ins for security or Velcro for ease of use. Whether you are after a partially battened mainsail, a fully battened mainsail, or a combination, we can help. Our flexible fiberglass battens come in 3 standard sizes: 15mm x 3mm, 30mm x 3mm, and 50mm x 3mm. Adding in full battens or a mixture of full and partial battens increases the durability of the mainsail. They often increase roach, when desired, on large roach mainsails. Battens offer leech stability for mainsails. ![]()
