Take the flog out of handling your mainsail with a Hood
fully battened Fully-Battened Mainsail.
Have you ever been in the situation where you need another
pair of hands to reef or stow your mainsail?
Hood have developed the Fully-Battened Mainsail, drawing
on their wealth of experience of short-handed sailing.
The mainsail is your most important sail, used every time
you leave the mooring; it needs to be easily handled and
reduced efficiently in area as the wind increases. Hood’s
Fully-Battened Mainsail dispenses with the need for that
extra pair of hands!
When reefing, the full-length battens will steady the sail
while you handle the lines in the normal way.
When you’ve finished sailing for the day, just lower
the halyard and let the lazy-jacks take the strain; the
battens keep the sail between the lazy-jack lines, which
run from mast to boom, without assistance. The sail flakes
itself, batten by batten, neatly and quietly on top of the
boom. The sail stays on board and off the deck, making your
family sailing and cruising much safer and more enjoyable.
The Fully-Battened is a fully battened mainsail which retains
a constant aerofoil profile over a wider wind range, held
in shape by pultruded GRP rod battens.
Your Fully-Battened Mainsail comes complete with lazy-jacks,
self-aligning blocks, battens, etc. The only installation
requirement, other than bending on your mainsail, is the
fitting of two pad eyes to the ma |
