Custom Built Genoa

Description

All our Genoas are built in a ‘cross cut’ format, and feature six point zig zag stitching on the seams and on the corner patching for reliable anti chafe properties and seam integrity, using Sun Stop thread for greater UV resistance and durability.

The head and tack are finished with soft webbing loops to allow for easy furling and the clew comes as standard with a press in Rutgerson stainless ‘Super Ring’ (we don’t use cheap plastic rimmed rings!), sized to suit the genoa sheets likely to be used on a sail of this size.

The luffs of our furling genoas are fitted with a low friction luff tape with a self-selected bead to match your furling system (specify your size when ordering – or indeed bronze Swedish piston hanks if you prefer the hank on style!) and feature a slight ‘hollow’ (or concave shape) to compensate for inevitable forestay sag. This helps the sail keep a flatter shape when partially furled, but you have the option to add a padded luff to maximise reefed performance too.

All our UV protective strips are fitted using ‘Odyssey’ branded polyester which offers great UV stability without being too heavy (so there’s minimal effect on sail shape in lighter wind) and are trimmed with a white edging tape to give a sharp stylish finish. Leach lines are fitted as standard, made off with a clam cleat for a neat finish.

For luff lengths from 4.00m to 17.93m and Foot lengths from 2.00m to 8.50m – explore all the options so you can build the spec to suit you!
