Nacra 570 Mainsail - Kangaroo Sails

With the Nacra 570 mainsail from Kangaroo Sails, you decide how your sail is built. Choose between the Beach cut for leisure sailors, the Hightech cut for racers and the Decksweeper. Pentex and Mylar laminates come in several colours, Dacron in white.

Which cut suits you?

• Beach for relaxed leisure sailing: the panels run radially from head and clew – 4 panels at the head, 10 at the clew and one along the luff. Flat, horizontal reinforcements and white Dacron batten pockets.
• Hightech for the race course: with 6 panels at the head, 11 at the clew and one along the luff, this radial cut handles the loads in the sail better and allows a more precise profile. Reinforcements are cut flat and fully bonded, and the batten pockets use the sailcloth itself.
• Decksweeper: offered as a third cut option. On a Decksweeper the foot reaches down to just above the trampoline (usually with a curved boom): sail and trampoline act like an end plate, reducing the tip vortices along the foot for better pointing and speed upwind. Widely used in racing since the 2017 F18 Worlds.

Options

• Window: lower panels in window film (possible with 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 sailcloth that is easy to handle and long-lasting.
• Pentex (black, smoke, white, silver): a laminate for racing and cruising made of three layers bonded under pressure. The Pentex fibre core gives high strength and shape stability at low weight; both outer layers are Mylar film.
• Mylar (smoke, white, blue, green, red): same construction as Pentex, but using polyester fibres.
