Hood Fully-Battened Mainsail
Take the flog out of handling your mainsail with a Hood fully battened Fully-Battened Mainsail. 

Have you ever been in the situation where you need another pair of hands to reef or stow your mainsail? 

Hood have developed the Fully-Battened Mainsail, drawing on their wealth of experience of short-handed sailing. 

The mainsail is your most important sail, used every time you leave the mooring; it needs to be easily handled and reduced efficiently in area as the wind increases. Hood’s Fully-Battened Mainsail dispenses with the need for that extra pair of hands! 

When reefing, the full-length battens will steady the sail while you handle the lines in the normal way. 

When you’ve finished sailing for the day, just lower the halyard and let the lazy-jacks take the strain; the battens keep the sail between the lazy-jack lines, which run from mast to boom, without assistance. The sail flakes itself, batten by batten, neatly and quietly on top of the boom. The sail stays on board and off the deck, making your family sailing and cruising much safer and more enjoyable. 

The Fully-Battened is a fully battened mainsail which retains a constant aerofoil profile over a wider wind range, held in shape by pultruded GRP rod battens. 

Your Fully-Battened Mainsail comes complete with lazy-jacks, self-aligning blocks, battens, etc. The only installation requirement, other than bending on your mainsail, is the fitting of two pad eyes to the mast.  

Fully-Battened Mainsail - The ultimate in ease of handling with a gain in performance and efficiency.
