Performance Cruise
Take your cruising further.
Every performance cruising yacht is singular, and so is every sail we build. We model your rig, map the loads it truly carries, and engineer an inventory that delivers season after season, whether you are pressing a coastal series or crossing an ocean in quiet comfort, we are your experts in sailing.
Our commitment
Built once. Built properly.
A performance cruise yacht is often sailed shorthanded and often crossing oceans, so the importance of the sail inventory is second to none. It has to hold its shape over thousands of miles and be manageable with minimal crew. We engineer every cruise sail with the handwork, chafe protection and construction detail that ocean mileage demands, designed by people who have done those miles themselves, delivering sails that are fit for purpose and chosen by the world’s long range cruisers.
Fibres are laid to your yacht’s actual load paths rather than a generic pattern. The result holds shape across a far wider wind band, which means fewer sail changes, less fatigue, and a yacht that sails the way it was designed to.
By sailors, for sailors.
The inventory

The constructions and applications we specify most often for yachts that race and cruise. Every build carries the support of our full design team.

Sail technology
Exclusive to us. Luff loads are mapped back into the sail through custom fibre layouts rather than held by the forestay, giving more projection and a sail that stays stable across a wider range.

Sail technology
Code sails without the torsion cable, so loads drop by up to fifty per cent for more luff projection, less weight and wider sailing angles. Top down or bottom up furling keeps it manageable short handed.

Sail handling
Convenience without compromise.
Cruising sailors are too often asked to trade sail shape for convenience. The StackPack refuses the trade. A fully battened mainsail with integral lazy jacks and a Sunbrella cover that opens automatically to accept the sail as it lowers, then holds tight against it when raised so the aerodynamics stay clean.
Reef lines pass through the cover, the zipper tail stays secured, and your existing main can serve as the base sail. You will never lower a sail and fit a cover again. Raise, lower and cover it, single handed.
