Racing Sails

All of our racing sails are built using premium cloth from the industry's most respected manufacturers, including Challenge, Bainbridge, Dimension Polyant and Contender.


Crosscut Main

Crosscut Main Racing Sail

A Hallett Crosscut Main is the perfect sail for the common racer. The crosscut main, made of Dacron material or FLEX laminates, 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 enhance the sails performance in the long run. Racers commonly have a combination of full and standard battens for optimum performance Both FLEX and Woven Polyester Dacron create a high quality, tightly woven, stretch resistant, durable sail that helps reduce heel and provide great performance. 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.

Standards: Leech Line, Cunningham, Sail Numbers, Tell Tales, 3 Sail Ties, Sail Bag, 1 Reef, Batten Full Length or Standard, Class Insignia.

Options: Vision Window, Over Headboard Leechline, 2nd or 3rd Reef, Draft Stripes.

Crosscut Genoa

Crosscut Genoa Racing Sails

A Hallett Crosscut Genoa again is the perfect sail for a racer. A simple Dacron or FLEX 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 which comes in many different colors that can be used for the U.V. Cover. We also provide many other options for sun covers such as WeatherMax, and Stamoid.

Standards: Leech and Foot Lines, Spreader Patches, Sail Numbers, Tell Tales, 3 Sail Ties, Sail Bag.

Options: Tell Tale Window, Vision Window, Turtle Bag, Draft Stripes.

TriRadial Main

TriRadial Main Racing Sails

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 luff of the sail to the clew. The Radial panel layout is designed to support these loads, making the sail hold its designed shape smoother and longer. Using our high tech computer designing program, we can design the sail specifically to your boat and the conditions under which you intend to use it using race proven shapes and the best materials available. The quality materials used for this sail consist of Hydra Net, Radial Wide Dacron, Carbon or CX/CXP, all of which are useful to save weight and add performance and longevity. Pentax is the best material for Racers that want the performance of a sail but also want durability for cruising. A TriRadial Main is often bought by sailors that are doing long offshore cruising and/or racing.

Standards: Leech Line, Cunningham, Sail Numbers, Tell Tales, 3 Sail Ties, Sail Bag, 1 Reef, Batten Full Length or Standard, Class Insignia.

Options: Vision Window, Over Headboard Leechline, 2nd or 3rd Reef, Draft Stripes.

Offshore Cruising/TriRadial Genoa

TriRadial Genoa Racing Sails

A Hallett Tri-Radial Genoa is also 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 effectively handle these multi-directional loads. The Design focuses carefully on orienting the panels to optimize strength and minimize stretch. 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, Hydra New, Radial Wide Dacron, CX/CXP and Carbon. Heavier weight cloth is used in the leeches for durability.

Standards: Leech and Foot Lines, Spreader Patches, Sail Numbers, Tell Tales, 3 Sail Ties, Sail Bag.

Options: Tell Tale Window, Vision Window, Turtle Bag, Draft Stripes.

Symmetrical Spinnaker

Symmetrical Spinnaker Racing Sails

A Hallett Symmetric spinnakers will get you downwind fast. These are the ideal downwind solution for racing sailors and the more aggressive cruiser who still prefers to use a Spinnaker pole for deeper sailing angles. The Hallett spinnaker has the Tri Radial Design for better alignment of load bearing threads with the greatest loads to keep stretch to a minimum. Also the design creates many color opportunities using materials such as Superlite and Superkote. 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 in a wide range of wind and sea conditions. These design features create a stronger, longer lasting sail.

Standards: Duffel Bag, Sail Numbers.

Options: ATN Sock, ATN Tacker.

Asymmetrical Spinnaker

Asymmetrical Spinnaker Racing Sails

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. Some optional features of this sail are the ATN spinnaker sleeve, various weights (in ounces) of nylon cloth, and a Hallett spinnaker launching bag. Cloth choices for racing asymmetric spinnakers include Superkote and Superlite. The Asymmetric Spinnaker makes downwind passages faster, easier and more enjoyable for the cruisers. 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.

Standards: Duffel Bag, Sail Numbers.

Options: ATN Sock, ATN Tacker.

Code Zero

The Hallett Code Zero is a hybrid of genoa and spinnaker. This sail is designed to work like a genoa but is classified as a spinnaker for racing, most of the time is designed on a continuous furler. Furlers for this sail, such as Karver, and ProFurl allow the sail to be quickly hoisted and unfurled. A Code Zero is a flatter sail compared to the classic spinnaker. The asymmetric code zero is a light air, tight reaching sail, and the most upwind capable of the asymmetrics. The sail is constructed with materials such as CZ Optic and CZHP (high performance). This material is heavier and less stretchy than nylite or dilon used for a cruising symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnaker.
