Flying Fifteen
We have been closely involved with the Flying Fifteen since 1991. Our sails have won more World Championships in recent years than any other and are trusted to provide performance in all conditions. The Flying Fifteen is sailed by a wide range of crew weights, and as well as producing all round sails that can be easily adapted as conditions change, we are aware that to suit a variety of crew weights it is necessary to produce a range of sails addressing their power requirements. We have invested in the most capable design software available. It gives us unrivalled development speed to allow us to maintain our position at the top and a means of analysis and comparison not possible with traditional methods.
Mainsails
Our mainsail is an advanced design which generates tremendous power when required but can be easily flattened with a small amount of mast bend.
We offer the following mainsails:
E2C flow slightly further forward and easier to trim. Good in the light and holds an advantage over the E2P in sitting out conditions and above. Most crews find this the easiest sail to trim.
E2P straight luff ,hard lower and mid leech and at its best below 15 knots. Quite sensitive to mainsheet.
E2L lightweights mainsail for crew weights less than 25 stones.
Spinnakers
Our spinnakers have set the pace for many years. We are constantly delighted by customers favourable comments on speed and importantly ease of use.
The SL2 spinnaker is built to the max.
It is designed for heavier crews as an all-round sail. Some lighter crews use this sail in light / medium conditions, of course if reaches are broad then it is good for stronger breeze too.The SL2 would be our recommendation for Championship courses for all but lightweight crews. The SL1 spinnaker is slightly less than maximum width. It is a powerful and quick all round sail for light and medium crew weights. It's reaching speed is legendary.
The SL3 is a medium girth lightweights sail. All seams are bonded to improve smoothness and durability. Panels are computer cut for the ultimate accuracy and symmetry.
Genoas
The all up weight of a flying fifteen means that acceleration is an important factor in genoa design. We recommend our G1A genoa for most applications. Heavier crews require greater acceleration both on the sea in waves and also inland when conditions are variable. The G1A producing plenty of power in a chop with the bonus of improved flat water pointing. We use this sail in all conditions. The G3 genoa is an all round sail for light to medium weight crews, it has the ability to de-power and also has great pointing ability.
Accesories
We offer a huge range of accessories including protective rudder and equipment bags, spinnaker launch bags, tapered sheets and many more.
Covers
We manufacture a full range of covers both custom and standard.
