Objective

Though some H12s are kept simply for harbor sailing, many more are raced in regular regattas from New York to Maine. We have developed a tri-radial main, jib, and spinnaker construction that consistently beats out any other H12 sails. We also offer conventional cross-cut sails which can be customized to include hand-sewn grommets, narrow panels, and a variety of traditional sail cloth options. We make these products for any of the variations of the H12 design such as Haven, Doughdish, Cape Cod, and Somes Sound.

FEATURES

Mainsail: Warp-oriented premium Dacron, tri-radial panel layout, leech line, sail number & H-class insignia, draft stripe, telltales, tubular sail bag for storage.
Optional: track slides for head and/or foot, bronze mast hoop fasteners, conventional storage bags.
Jib: Warp-oriented premium Dacron, tri-radial panels, brass piston hanks, lace lines, telltales, tubular sail bag.
Optional: track slides on foot, webbing snaps instead of brass piston hanks, standard sail bag.
Halyards: We recommend and provide Spectra 1/4" stretch-resistant halyards for our racing sails.
Oar lock spinnaker blocks: Designed to fit into existing oar locks, these blocks offer a swiveling fairlead and cam cleat for easy spinnaker sheeting, as well as an alternative jib sheet location for short-handed sailing.

Both main and jib covers can be ordered in either traditional fit or a looser fit for crisp racing sails.

Objective

"Affinity" is one of the best examples of a Swan 48' found anywhere. She is constantly upgraded and fine-tuned for racing performance and cruising comfort. We work with her owners at ongoing innovation that includes the newest materials as they reach the market and the most efficient handling of her gear.

FEATURES

Mainsail: GPL carbon mainsails for both cruising and racing, 5 battens (top is full-length), over-the-head leechline handled from tack, loose foot, metal-free construction with liberal use of Spectra webbing and patching. Affinity's cruising mainsail is her retired racing mainsail, which we believe says a lot about the quality of our racing sails.
Headsails: Racing headsails #1 and #2 are GPL carbon full-hoist, roller-furling headsail #2 is also GPL. Aramid cruising laminate staysail for use as heavy-weather jib and also in concert with headsails while reaching.

"Juno" is a plank-on-frame classic wooden schooner. She races regularly in the international classic yacht circuit. Her sails are built for maximum speed and performance while complimenting her classic and timeless beauty. Her fisherman staysail is key to her speed in a number of conditions and points of sail. For this reason, we developed a flat-cut upwind staysail and a reaching/downwind "super fish" staysail which gives Juno the ability to shift gears by changing her fisherman staysail.
