Cross Cut Main .pdf
A Hallett Crosscut Main is the perfect sail for the coastal cruiser. The crosscut main, made of Dacron material, is the simplest, durable construction available. The crosscut main, an industry standard, is an inexpensive and reliable approach for cruising and some one-design racing sail boats. Full-battens will absorb a sails stress over time and increase the sails performance in the long run.
Crosscut Genoa

Furling Genoa.pdf
A Hallett Crosscut Genoa again is the perfect sail for the coastal cruiser. A simple Dacron crosscut genoa will last a long time and stand up to a wide range of conditions. A foam luff will provide better shape for a furling genoa and a U. V. protective cover will protect the sail while it is furled up at the mooring. As a sail is furled a foam pad will flatten the shape of the furled sail. Sunbrella material is a heavy canvas that can be used for the U. V. cover. Sunbrella comes in many different colors. There has been a trend towards an adhesive white material that is less expensive, lighter in weight and lasts a long time.
Radial Main

A Hallett Radial Main is a more complex design that will distribute the loads of the sail more accurately than a crosscut main. In a mainsail there are substantial loads that run from the head and tuff of the sail to the clew. The Radial panel layout is designed to support these loads, making the sail hold is designed shape longer. This is a sail that is bought by sailors that are doing long offshore cruising and/or racing. Cruisers should still consider full-battens for durability and ease of sail trim. Racers commonly have a combo of full and standard for optimum performance. Dacron is still a good material for cruisers, while spectra will save weight and add performance and longevity. Pentax is the best material for Racer/ Cruisers that want the performance of a racing sail but want durability for cruising. Kevlar is still the staple for pure racers. New fibers and materials such as Carbon and PBO are always being introduced which we test and research to give our customers the best performance for cost and durability.
Offshore Cruising Genoa
Tri-Radial Genoa .pdf
A Hallett Tri-Radial Genoa is a more complex design that distributes the loads of a genoa more accurately. In a genoa, the stress loads come from all three corners, the head, the tack and the clew. The tri-radial genoa is designed to handle these multi-directional loads accurately. The tri-radial genoa will hold its designed shape longer and give you better performance in the long run. This sail should be bought by most sailors that use roller furling, cruise offshore or race. The higher stresses on these sails will be better handled by tri-radial genoas. Cloth choices are similar to those of the radial main. Heavier weight cloth is used in the leeches for durability.
Asymetrical Spinnaker
Asymetrical Spinnaker .pdf
The Hallett Cruising Asymmetric Spinnaker is a light weight, full draft Sail intended for use in light and moderate air. The sail combines the handling ease of a jib or Genoa with the pulling power of a spinnaker. Standard features of this sail are the ATN spinnaker sleeve, .75oz nylon cloth, and a Hallett spinnaker launching bag. This sail makes downwind passages faster, easier and more enjoyable. Truly a fun sail to fly! The computer designed, computer cut tri-radial cruising asymmetric spinnaker is specifically designed to align the load bearing seams with the greatest loads to keep stretch to a minimum. The radial panels of our sail start at the clews and go all the way to the radial head keeping the designed shape from distorting under load. These design features create a stronger longer lasting sail. Also the design creates many color opportunities.
