Farr 40 Sail Information

P= 16.70     E= 5.90 

The Class main is specified using the Stratis process with Carbon Fiber and High Modulus Twaron. The sail is manufactured utilizing a UV Film for the ultimate durability. The UV film reduces the exposed light, which can lead to fiber breakdown.

The Carbon Fiber and High Modulus Twaron fibers offer incredible thread line strength and efficiency, essential to handle the high leach loads of a large mainsail. The Stratis layout is also superior to any other process. Additional fibers can be placed in any area of the sail for added strength. The only other system that allows for this is building the sail out of panels.

The mainsail on the Farr-40 must cover a very broad range, its ability to be powered up or bladed out will be critical. The backstay is the primary control for this function, and thus it will need to be adjusted frequently.

I= 16.20  SPL= 4.705

Code 1S VMG:
This sail is used for downwind legs in light conditions. This sail is designed as a VMG/AP so you can reach with it in the lighter air and press down in the puffs. There are fewer mid panels making the sail as light as possible.

This sail is designed as an AP/Runner. The sail can be used in 17 TWS at the lowest angles.

Code 3A AP:
The Code 3A is designed to overlap the upper end of the .5 Runner. This sail is designed for Heavy Running conditions.
