Nacra F16 Jib - Kangaroo Sails

The Nacra F16 jib from Kangaroo Sails is available in three cuts – from the Hightech cut for Formula 16 racing, through the Beach cut for club and leisure sailors, to the low-maintenance Easy cut. You configure cloth, colour, battens and window to suit your Nacra F16.

Sail cuts

• Hightech for racing sailors: radial cut with 3 panels from the head, 6 from the clew and 1 from the tack. The extra panels match the cloth even better to the loads and allow finer profiling. Reinforcements cut radially and fully bonded.
• 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.
• Easy for leisure sailors: durable white Dacron with panels at right angles to the leech. Few panels, few seams that can fail, and an economical build. Flat, horizontal reinforcements.

Options

• Window-film panels possible with all cuts
• Battens: full-length, for a furling system, or straight
• 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

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