MAINSAILS

Doyle Sails offer the best available design technology, advice and manufacturing standards available in the sail making industry today. Your mainsail is fundamental to the performance of your yacht - our experts can ensure you get the perfect sail to suit your requirements.

HEADSAILS

Doyle's headsails offer some subtle refinements to what has become the basic principle of modern sail engineering, the concept of aligning fabric thread line with sail loadings. Combined with the best of modern composite materials, this structure produces a sail which is exceptionally light, yet strong.

CODE SAILS

A cruising code sail can often be the missing link between a genoa and a gennaker for performance cruisers. Gain power in light air and performance in a wider range of angles, both reaching or running. The cruising code sail is lightweight and easy to handle due to the light weight cable at the leading edge of the sail, providing greater efficiency.

DOWNWIND

Covering the entire range from broad running to tight reaching, Doyle’s downwind sails allow you to realize the full downwind potential of your boat. These sails maximize projected area, and utilize construction techniques that capture the cloth’s strengths and ensure stable flying shape.

CRUISING SAIL ACCESORIES

STACKPACK

StackPack is a mainsail handling system comprised of a fully battened mainsail with integral lazy jacks and a cover that opens automatically to accept the sail as it is lowered.

ANOMALY HEADBOARD

The Doyle Anomaly Headboard solves a major handling issue with modern square top mainsails with a very robust and elegant solution.

CRADLE COVER
