Choose your angle with Quantum's specialty line of high-performing, versatile, and easy to use downwind reaching sails.

Scroll down to learn more about reaching sails and their important role in your inventory. ALL THE ANGLES IN BETWEEN We made it easy to find the right reaching sail with our new line developed around target Apparent Wind Angles (AWA). NEW FAVORITE SAIL Versatile, easy to use, and easy to trim. Even your partner and crew will love it. Here's what goes into making the perfect reaching sail for your needs. CODE ZERO & AWA TRIM GUIDE Technique and guidance on tension, twing placement, trimming and driving to maximize your experience and elevate the performance of your AWA sails. XC CRUISING & RACING CABLELESS SAILS Quantum's XC reaching sails have more luff projection to weather and more twist (five to 10 degrees) compared to traditional reaching sails and other cable-less designs on the market. The superior performance is a result of a straighter, more stable leech and a flatter exit, both contributing to an increase in drive in all conditions but not overpowering the boat in heavy-air reaching. And because there is less surplus material along the leech, there is less backwinding of the mainsail, which creates less drag when sailing close to the wind. Quantum’s XC structured luff technology and designs are great for reaching applications like the AWA 40, 60, and 80, and are available in membrane or tri-radial construction to meet the needs of any sailor.
