Storm jib

for cruiser-racer sailboats

Every boat, large or small, which ventures into open water should, as part of its essential equipment, carry storm sails. The primary objective in designing a storm sail is to provide sufficient sail area to maintain handling ability without overpowering the boat in severe conditions. To withstand these conditions, the sail must be made to a high specification using heavy duty materials. STORM SAIL FEATURES Colour coded luff and corner patches Specially chosen sail cloth to absorb shock loading Heavy duty Molybdenum stainless steel cringles Seams cut parallel to leech to withstand shock loading Sheet spliced in clew corner if required Double width tablings and extra stitching for added strength We have designed our storm sails incorporating a number of additional safety features to provide added reliability and ease of handling.
