## Questions and answers

### What is Kraken Sails?

Kraken Sails is an Australian sailmaker in Geelong, Victoria. We build cruising sails at fixed online prices for thousands of production boats, racing sails with an instant estimate for each boat, and offshore and storm sails for adventure sailing, and ship them worldwide. Kraken Sails is run by Kraken Sails Pty Ltd (ABN 40 679 602 512), 93 W Fyans St, Newtown VIC 3220, Australia.

### Can I buy a sail online without asking for a quote?

Yes, for cruising sails. Find your boat, pick the sail, sailcloth and options, and the price shows on the page straight away. Add it to your cart and pay online. Racing sails start with an instant estimate for your boat, and a sailmaker sends the full quote and sail plan within 3 business days.

### How much does a new mainsail cost?

A made-to-measure cruising mainsail is priced for your exact boat. For example, a Catalina 30 mainsail starts at A$2,547 including GST in Australia (US$1,465 in the US) and a Catalina 30 furling genoa starts at A$2,448 (US$1,410). Prices rise with sail area, with the C-Breeze cloth, 4 full battens or an express build. Shipping is added at checkout.

### How is the price worked out?

Each cruising price comes from your boat's published rig dimensions: luff (P) and foot (E) for a mainsail, and I and J for a genoa. Sail area, sailcloth, batten layout and build time set the final price. You see it before you buy, including GST in Australia.

### What currency are prices in?

Australian dollars including 10% GST for delivery in Australia, and US dollars for every other country. The total is confirmed at checkout before you pay.

### Which boats can I price online?

Cruising mainsails and furling genoas for 4,513 production boats from Beneteau, Catalina, Hanse, Jeanneau and many more builders. Every boat has one page with all its sails at https://krakensails.com/boats/.

### My boat is not listed. Can I still order?

Yes. Send us your rig dimensions through the custom quote form at https://krakensails.com/quote/ and a sailmaker will price it. In-mast and in-boom furling mainsails and fully custom designs are quoted the same way.

### What sailcloth do cruising sails use?

Woven polyester (Dacron) from Dimension-Polyant, the German sailcloth maker. Optimum Cruise is the value cloth. 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.

### Does a sailmaker check my order?

Yes. A sailmaker checks the measurements and specification of every order before any cloth is cut. After you order we send a short measurement check. If your boat's numbers change the price, we tell you before design starts and you can cancel for a full refund.

### How long does it take to get a sail?

Cruising sails are built in about 4 weeks, then shipped by express courier. Express builds take about 2 weeks (8% extra) and economy builds about 8 weeks with slower freight (5.5% off).

### What does shipping cost?

A$75 including GST within Australia. To the United States it is US$75 plus 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 US$375.

### What warranty do the sails have?

Catalogue sails (cruising sails, spinnakers and storm sails) have a 12-month warranty and racing and custom sails have 2 years, against defects in materials and workmanship, on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

### Can I cancel a made-to-measure sail?

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.
