Cruising sail : genoa (furling)
PASSAGEMAKER UK-Halsey International

Passagemakers are UK-Halsey's line of roller furling genoas. They incorporate all the features that cruising sailors want most -- a foam luff, reefing reinforcements and a rugged UV covers on the leech and foot.

As the name implies, dependability is the Passagemaker's middle name. These genoas are built extra strong to provide all the advantages of a full-luff genoa with the convenience of being able to easily reef to a smaller genoa.

Major Features of the Passagemakers:
Foam Luff: The crescent shaped foam luff is designed to help the Passagemaker retain a smooth aerodynamic shape when reefed. By gradually adding bulk to the luff area of the sail, it compensates for the more rapid increase in diameter at the leech and foot as the sail furls. So when your Passagemaker is reefed to the reef reinforcements, it still has the proper shape.

Reef Points: We provide a set of patches so that when the Passagemaker is reefed, the corner loads at the new head and tack are more evenly distributed. They help eliminate distortion and wear that can occur after repeated reefing. When the Passagemaker is furled to these patches, the area remaining is approximately that of the next smaller jib for your boat.
