Dart 18 Jib - Kangaroo Sails

With the Dart 18 jib from Kangaroo Sails, the sail brand of Sven Lindstädt Segeltechnik, you put together your new headsail yourself. Three cuts cover everything from relaxed leisure sailing to racing, and you choose the cloth, battens, window and Qbond option to match the way you sail.

Sail cuts for the Dart 18

• Easy – for leisure sailors, in durable white Dacron: panels run at right angles to the leech. Fewer panels mean fewer seams that can fail and an economical build. Flat, horizontal reinforcements.
• Beach – for leisure and club racing sailors: radial cut with 2 panels from the head and 6 from the tack and clew. The cloth is aligned with the loads in the sail and there are only a few seams. Radial reinforcements.
• Hightech – for racing sailors: radial cut with 3 panels from the head, 6 from the clew and 1 from the tack. The extra panels follow the loads even more closely and allow a finer profile. Reinforcements are cut radially and fully bonded.

Options

• Window or window-film panels possible with all three cuts
• Battens: full-length, for a furling system, or straight battens
• Qbond option (yes or no): the panels are joined with the patented Q-Bond process, bonded under high pressure instead of stitched – no needle holes, so the sail is lighter, holds its shape better and lasts longer.

Sailcloth

• Dacron (white): woven polyester sailcloth that is easy to handle and long-lasting.
• Pentex (black, smoke, white, silver): three-layer laminate for racing and cruising. The Pentex fibre core gives high strength and shape stability at low weight, with Mylar film on both sides, all bonded under pressure.
• Mylar (smoke, blue, white, green, red): the same laminate construction as Pentex, but with polyester fibres.
