SAILS
Our BG Sails are the dominant force on the world stage, having been used by the winners of the majority of IRSA World Championships held since 2007 in the IOM, Marblehead and Ten Rater classes, with National championship wins too numerous to mention dating back to 2000.
Such product performance at the highest level, across differing classes, designs and a wide range of skippers, reflects our knowledge in producing sail shapes that work in harmony with modern rig geometry practice to provide a more user friendly experience for skippers at all levels of competition.
Our passion in pursuit of the optimum sail design matched to a given rig, is one that compliments the design freedom offered across the four IRSA recognised classes, where those prepared to test and challenge themselves in design, manufacture and skipper ability are rewarded like no other against the best in the world.
If you would like to order a suit of our sails for any of the below listed classes, we ask that you take the time to read through our specifications and ordering information before emailing your requirements to us.
Current lead time on new sail orders 4+ months.
Sail Specifications
* All mainsails are available in the luff finish of your choice with corner and mainsail luff eyelets as standard. Our jibs use a wire luff encased in a pocket as standard.
* Corner patches are in the finger style, available in white, black, grey, light grey, navy blue, royal blue, yellow, red, green, fluro yellow, fluro orange or fluro pink.
* Jib luff tapes are available in white, black, grey, royal blue, light blue, yellow, red, green, purple, fluro yellow, fluro orange or fluro pink.
