CROSS-CUT FURLING GENOA

Hood’s high technology brings performance to our roller reefing/furling genoas. 

Almost any genoa can be adapted to roller furling with a luff tape, but unless the sail was specifically designed for roller furling and reefing, you will never reach your boat’s designed performance. 

Computer Design
The Cross Cut Genoa is computer designed and laser cut for precision to give your boat maximum speed and upwind performance. An optional shaped foam pad can be sewn into the luff so that the leading edge will remain flat and not "belly", as other genoas do when reefed. 

Hood are the only sailmakers in the world to weave their own fabric. 

It is woven more tightly than any other cloth to give you greater durability and a soft finish. Cross Cut Furling Genoas are constructed with balanced polyester creating a strong sail for a wide usable wind range. A specially developed UV resistant acrylic stripe helps protect the sail from ultra-violet degradation when fully furled. 

Attention to Detail
In addition, the Cross Cut Furling Genoa has strengthening patches at the highest load areas of the clew, this, plus tack patches add strength to the most highly-loaded areas of the reefed sail. The foot is marked and labelled with overlap percentages so that you can reduce the sail to 115% overlap or 95% overlap for exact ‘first’ and ‘second’ reefs every time. To further aid your accuracy for proper sail trim, there is a trimming line at the clew to indicate the correct lead to the sheet block.
