Swallow Sails

Swallow Mainsail

The new rules mainsail is now Tri Radial in construction and built from Polyester Laminate, it includes the new larger Roach profile that is now required in the class rules. This new mainsail due to its construction and material choice has dramatically changed the profile of the boat.
Mainsail Sailcloth is Dimension-Polyant polyester laminate.

Swallow Jib

The new rules jib again has a lower clew to help improve the look of the rig but primarily to get a low sheeting angle and to make the most of the power that is generated from the base of the sail.
Foresail Sailcloth is Contender 5.6 Polykote a firm finish coated woven polyester.

Swallow Spinnaker

Developed during 2007, the S07B spinnaker was designed on SailPack, the software developed for the Americas Cup. This sail is a substantial improvement on its predecessor. With a radial base and cross cut upper sections, the sail is fast both running and reaching. The initial development sail, S07A, was found to be fast but not particularly forgiving; it needed a lot of concentration to get the best from it. By adding slightly more shape in the head we now have a sail that is both fast and user friendly.
Code SO7B Spinnaker Cloth is Contender 0.75oz Dynakote
