Compared with other types of rig, the modern bermudan sail plan is highly efficient to windward. Downwind, though, it's a different story - and that's where spinnakers and cruising chutes come in. |

Over the past 10 years or so, fullybattened mainsails have become ever more popular. In fact many sailors now automatically assume they're the best choice - but are they? |

On many boats, the genoa is the main driving sail to windward. It's also the one which often poses the biggest question: do you choose a roller reefing system, or a suit of separate headsails? |

It is many years since Kemp Sails first introduced the Packaway mainsail stacking system. Proof of its success can be seen in any marina in the country, with many manufacturers emulating the principle. |
|
At Kemp Sails, we take pride in building mainsails which perform exactly as they should. That means ensuring accurate measurements, selecting the most appropriate cloth and panel layout, and taking care over every detail of the design and construction. |

The popularity of Fully-Battened mainsails is well known and this subject has been extensively covered by the Yachting Press. However, these glowing reports tend to be biased towards more modern yachts with new mast designs, with no reference being made to the vast majority of sailors who own older style yachts. |

Kemp's radial cut laminate racing sails can be made in a variety of fabrics and fibre types, depending upon your sailing program, your yacht and your budget. |

Until the early ‘80s, sails were usually made to a cross-cut design - that is, with their panels running horizontally from leech to luff. Most are still made this way - and for good reason: it’s a simple, reliable and relatively economical method of construction which is best suited to the majority of readily-available fabrics. |
