Conventional Main Sail - Woven Polyester, Cruising Dacron
This mainsail is made from a tightly woven polyester cloth, providing a long-lasting sail which provides many years of good service. The classic cross-cut construction is a widely used design producing sails at competitive prices. The horizontal full battens help keep the shape, and when lowering the sail, it practically packs itself in to the lazy jack or zippack. The sail is delivered in a sail bag thus easy to store and transport.
The woven polyester used for our ALISIO segment is a durable and economical fabric ideal for recreational cruising.
