Who's making your sail
Real sailors.
A real loft in Geelong.
Every Kraken sail is designed from your boat’s own measurements by a designer who still races at international level, and built in cloth made in Europe or America. Before anything is cut, Christie or Ryan checks your numbers and talks to you about how you sail your Farr 65 R. That conversation is where a good sail becomes the right one.

Passage making asks more of a sail: weeks on the boom, sun and chafe, and a third reef when it blows. Here is how the Farr 65 R wardrobe changes when you leave the coast.

Questions about Farr 65 R sails

From A$18,255 (US$10,445 in the US) in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with a full head batten and three leech battens, or A$18,585 with four full battens. C-Breeze costs more.
What size genoa does a Farr 65 R need?
Going by the standard rig measurements, a 130% genoa (about 129.1 m² on this boat) suits this boat. Choose 110 to 120% for windy places or easier tacking, or 140 to 150% for light air. A 130% genoa in Optimum Cruise is A$17,595 (US$10,070 in the US).
Can I race in cruising sails?
Yes, plenty of club racers do. If results matter, a laminate main and headsails hold their shape far longer: ask us for a racing quote.
How long does it take?
Cruising sails take about 4 weeks to build, then ship express. Racing laminates take about 4 weeks and membranes about 6 once the design is signed off.
