Cruising Sails. Your Questions Answered.
Prices
Prices.
A made to measure cruising mainsail is priced for your exact boat. Prices rise with sail area and with the C-Breeze cloth, 4 full battens or an express build. Find your boat to see its price, or see typical prices on our sail prices by boat length page. Shipping is added at checkout.
Yes. Search for your boat, pick the sail, sailcloth and options, and the price updates on the page straight away. You can add it to your cart and pay online. There is no quote form and no sales call.
Each price comes from your boat’s published rig dimensions: luff (P) and foot (E) for a mainsail, and I and J for a genoa. The sail area, sailcloth, batten layout, genoa size and build time set the final price. You see it before you buy.
Prices are in Australian dollars including 10% GST for delivery in Australia, and in US dollars for every other country. The currency follows your delivery address, and the total is confirmed at checkout before you pay.

Two woven polyester (Dacron) cloths from Dimension-Polyant, the German sailcloth maker. Optimum Cruise is the value cloth and the lowest price. C-Breeze has a tighter weave of higher tenacity fibres, so it resists stretch and holds its shape longer. Cloth weight is matched to your boat’s size.
Two reef points, a cunningham, stacked reinforcement patches, Dyneema leech and foot lines with an overhead leech line adjuster, battens (4 full, or 3 leech + 1 full head batten) and a sail bag. Luff slides, sail numbers and covers are not included, though you can add sail numbers when you order.
Most cruising boats carry about 130%. Choose 110% to 120% for a windy sailing area or easier tacking, or 140% to 150% for more power in light air.
Ordering, build and delivery
Ordering, build and delivery.
Yes. After you order we send you a short measurement check, and a sailmaker reviews your measurements and specification before any cloth is cut. If your boat’s numbers change the price, we tell you before design starts and you can cancel for a full refund.
The standard build is about four weeks, then the sail ships by express courier. You can also choose an express build of about two weeks (8% extra) or an economy build of about eight weeks with slower freight (5.5% off). You can follow every stage in your customer portal.
Yes. Shipping is A$75 including GST within Australia. To the United States it is about US$75 plus about 15% of the order value as import duty, prepaid at checkout so there is nothing to pay on delivery. Most other countries are about US$75, and remote destinations are US$375. See delivered anywhere.
Every sail has a 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. See the warranty page for what is covered and how to claim.
Sails are made to order for your boat, so we do not take change of mind returns. You can cancel for a full refund before design starts, or for a refund less reasonable design and admin costs before the cloth is cut. Once cutting has started the order cannot be cancelled. Faulty sails are covered by the warranty.
