Training sails for Laser®* Standard, Radial and 4.7
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
We now market a second version of our radial sail in our "Performance Series" range. This sail targets top competitors, looking for a "stretchier" sail. Because of the radial construction, radial training sails available in the market place feel a little stiffer than the original, as the cloth works mostly in the warp direction, where it is stiffer. A top helmsman may notice that in medium and high wind, training radial sails require a little more cunningham tension. Our new "Performance series" radial training sail entirely eliminates this issue as it uses a special cloth, more stretchy, specifically designed for this purpose. See the training sails for Laser® * Faq here for more details. |
Our goal in designing a training sail for Laser® * is to replicate (and not improve...) the performance and feel of class-legal sails, so that our sail can be used for realistic training. You can then save your official sails for official events. Our sails are also used for friendly , non sanctioned events, rental fleets, sailing schools, etc.
Our sails (Standard, Radial, 4.7) are made in a high end dinghy dacron, weighing 160g/Sqm (3,73 smoz) - with a high resin enduction for maximum durability. They are computer cut; and sewn and finished by hand.
The package includes a sail bag (tube bag to receive the mast top with the sail rolled on it), battens and 6 tell tales, un-installed. Detailed photos are here: Photos
Our sails are now flaked/rolled: We flaked them 3 times perpendicular
to the mast then roll them to minimize creases and avoid the dreaded
handkerchief fold pattern on folded sails.....See

Note: We offer fleet deals and also can custom manufacture our sails in a heavier cloth, for maximum durability in intensive use in rental fleets, etc (not recommended for race training as the heavier cloth somewhat modifies the sail behavior and feel).
If you have any questions, you can check our training sails for Laser® * FAQ - or do not hesitate to call us!
