Our cruising mainsails are manufactured with a crosscut design combined with a durable Challenge sailcloth as standard, ensuring a long life for your cruising sail, even for the most dedicated sailor. For those who have the mainsail furled, the battens are strategically placed so as not to overlap when the cruising sail is furled, minimizing the risk of the sail getting caught in the mast. With a new mainsail for cruising from K&A Sails, you will experience the wonderful feeling of a new cruising sail with a stiff sailcloth that is also well adapted for furling if your sailboat has this. In the cruising sail's stern and lower body there are trim lines and tell-tales in the stern.

Measuring sails

For those who want sails in the same design and size as today, the sails are sent or left with us for measurement. You can also do this yourself using our measurement template if desired. Your old sails will be returned to you as soon as the measurement is completed. For example, if you want a 150% genoa and have a 125% today, we can offer measurement directly on the boat in our local area. Otherwise, you can also use our measurement templates.
