Phantom F18 Jib - Kangaroo Sails

The Phantom F18 jib from Kangaroo Sails has a sail area of 4.15 m² and can be supplied measured on request. Three cuts are available, from the straightforward Easy cut for leisure sailors to the Hightech cut for Formula 18 racing. Cloth, battens and window are configured to match.

Cuts compared

• Easy cut in durable white Dacron for leisure sailors: panels at right angles to the leech, so there are few seams that can fail and the sail is economical to build. Flat, horizontal reinforcements.
• Beach cut for leisure and club racing: radial cut with 2 panels from the head and 6 from the tack and clew. The panels follow the loads in the sail and there are only a few seams. Radial reinforcements.
• Hightech cut for racing: radial cut with 3 panels from the head, 6 from the clew and 1 from the tack. More panels mean an even better match to the loads and a more finely adjustable profile. Radial, fully bonded reinforcements.
