Topcat K1 Mainsail - Kangaroo Sails

Kangaroo Sails builds this Topcat K1 mainsail to your specification. Leisure sailors choose the Beach cut, racers the Hightech cut with more panels and a finer profile, and a Decksweeper cut is also available. Cloth, window, battens and colours are chosen to suit your Topcat.

Cuts for the Topcat K1

• Beach – for leisure sailors: radial cut from head and clew with 4 panels from the head, 10 from the clew and 1 along the luff. Flat, horizontal reinforcements; batten pockets in white Dacron.
• Hightech – for racing: 6 panels from the head, 11 from the clew and 1 along the luff. The extra panels align the cloth better with the loads and improve the profile. Reinforcements cut flat and fully bonded; batten pockets made from the sailcloth.
• Decksweeper – available as a further cut.

Options

• Window: lower panels in window film (Beach and Hightech)
• Multi-colour layout possible
• Battens: none, with battens, or battens for the Decksweeper (DS)
• Qbond: yes or no

Sailcloth

• Dacron (white): woven polyester cloth, easy to handle and long-lasting.
• Pentex (black, smoke, white, silver): three-layer laminate for racing and cruising. Pentex fibres in the core give high strength and shape stability at low weight, with Mylar film on the outside; the layers are bonded under pressure.
• Mylar (smoke, white, blue, green, red): built like Pentex, but with polyester fibres.
