Doyle Catamaran and Trimaran Sails

Doyle Multihull and Catamaran Sailcloth Selection

Doyle Multihull sails set the standard for long-term durability and performance, making Doyle Sailmakers the choice for the largest cruising catamaran charter companies and some of the most cutting edge race programs in the world.

Intense loads on these unique sails require significant attention to sailcloth selection, construction technique, hardware attachment, mainsail handling, and sail design.

Sailcloth Selection

Most multihulls continue to use Dacron sails due to their long-term durability and relative affordability. A diverse range of high and low aspect fabrics allow sails to meet specific performance, durability and price goals.

Construction Methods

Catamarans and trimarans can generate working loads twice that of a similar length monohull. Multihull sailcloth, attachment hardware, patches, reefs, batten receptacles, and chafe resistants must all meet the highest standards for use in the most demanding wind and ultraviolet conditions.

Mainsail Handling

Doyle Multihull Cradle Cover The Doyle StackPack and Doyle Cradle Cover have dramatically simplified raising and lowering large, fully-battened multihull sails. Combining an automatic cover system with integrated lazy jacks and unique user-friendly details, the Doyle StackPack and Doyle Cradle Cover have become the standard for multihull mainsail handling.
