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.

"Juno" is a plank-on-frame classic wooden schooner. She races regularly in the international classic yacht circuit.

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.
