New SPECIAL RAID Mainsail compatible for 18 feet sport catamarans TIGER - ALADO - DART HAWK - HOBIE 18 Formula - PACIFIC - PEARL... 
Forward Sailing presents you the very first mainsail specially designed for coastal raid in catamaran. 
Inspired by the stories of a few enthusiasts who have gone far enough aboard their catamaran and in parallel to our collaboration with Yvan Bourgnon for whom we have made the sails for his challenges (solo round the world voyage on a sport catamaran / Ice crossing / Mediterranean and English Channel crossing records) we decided to transpose all the good ideas we heard to launch a design compatible with 18 feet (Hobie 18 Formula, Pacific, many F18, etc...) 
Suitable for RAID use. This moderately powerful sail has a robust finish and is adapted to longer and windier coastal courses. Reefing is easy which will delight the less reckless.  
A high performance sail: 
- XRP9 Challenge Cloths. Reinforced fibers are sandwiched between 2 milar films treated against UV. 
- Cross Cut finish with triradial reinforcement - Fiberglass battens with Forward tensioners using an Allen key
- Very easy and quick to modify tension 
- Penons on sail and leech 
- Fairly flat cut, with horn that fades well under cunningham tension 
 Special attention to safety: 
- 2 reefs to effectively reduce the sail and adapt to wind conditions
- Easy reefing thanks to the webbing. 
- Orange horn for good visibility
- Adjustable leech on each reef and high position
- Possibility to put a float in the head
- Several types of floats are possible (head eye, along the luff) Modification on the catamaran: This sail requires almost no modification: reefing + cleat Replace the Hook by a reefing system: In order to be able to use the reefs easily, while keeping a good profile with sufficient tension in the halyard we recommend the use of a reeled halyard: halyard fixed at the top of the mast (on the hook hole or other) going down in the head (pulley + shackle), back to the top of the mast by passing in the head sheave and then going down to the foot of the mast It is also necessary to install a cleat to take back the halyard and be able to manage it easily. (be careful, the halyard must be in spectra or other and be 25 m long!)
