Cruising

We know that not all cruising is the same, and this is why at AUS Sailmakers we listen to what each customer wants and what their intended sail use will be.  We will then recommend fabrics and develop a design that will suit your purposes to make your sailing experience as enjoyable as possible.

Although our focus is on providing durable and affordable sails that are easy to handle, we will ensure they maintain their shape and performance characteristics over the years.  All our sails are designed and built in Perth to the same exacting standards as all our racing sails.

Typically, we recommend high quality woven polyester (Dacron) as it provides the durability and performance needed by many cruiser sailors.  However, for those wishing to participate in some racing, there is an excellent selection of Cruising Polyester and Laminates available.  Sails may be a cross-cut or radial design depending on your material choice, size of boat and budget.  Regardless of the choice, your sails will be tailor-made to ensure you achieve maximum control and comfort to suit your sailing requirements.

Our cruising mainsails are designed to be compatible with your existing systems.  Typical standard features include:

  • Reefing points
  • Wide seams
  • Triple stitching with UV stabilised thread
  • Stainless steel fittings
  • Hand sewn leather reinforcements on wear points
  • Low stretch leech lines
  • Draft Stripes

Our Genoas are designed to retain good shape and performance even when partially furled.  All furling Genoas are finished with high quality UV strips to ensure longevity. Typical standard features of our cruising Genoas include:

  • UV leech and foot strips
  • Triple stitching with UV stabilised thread
  • Stainless steel fittings
  • Hand sewn leather reinforcements on wear points
  • Low stretch leech lines
  • Draft Stripes
