Nacra 6.0 Jib - Kangaroo Sails

A new Nacra 6.0 jib is available from Kangaroo Sails, the sail brand of Sven Lindstädt Segeltechnik. Three sail cuts cover leisure sailing, club racing and racing; you choose the cloth, colour, battens, window and Qbond option. Your Nacra 6.0 gets a headsail that suits how you use it.

Cuts

• Easy – leisure cut in durable white Dacron with panels at right angles to the leech. Few panels mean few seams that can fail and an economical build. Flat, horizontal reinforcements.
• Beach – for leisure and club racing sailors: radial cut with panels from the head, tack and clew, 2 from the head and 6 from the tack and clew. The cloth is aligned with the loads in the sail, and the sail has 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. Thanks to the higher panel count the cloth follows the loads better and the profile can be shaped more finely. Reinforcements cut radially and fully bonded.

Configuration

• Cloth: white Dacron, Pentex (black, smoke, white, silver) or Mylar (smoke, blue, white, green, red)
• Window: 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.

Cloths

• Dacron: woven polyester sailcloth, easy to handle and long-lasting.
• Pentex: laminate for racing and cruising made of three layers bonded under pressure. The Pentex fibre core provides high strength and shape stability at low weight; the outer layers are Mylar film.
• Mylar: built like Pentex, but with polyester fibres.
