• Each sail is assembled in an organized data sheet for you. You will then be able to review the chart and make changes. Once you approve the chart, we draw each sail and we provide you CAD drawing of your sail(s). You can again view and make changes. Once you approve the drawings, we cut your sail. The process is quite easy.

Racing Headsail Design

Fareast Sails Racing sails are built with premium cloth from Challenge, Contender and dimension-polyant cloths. Racing Woven Materials provide 10 to 20% less stretch due to the sail cloth and the efficiency of the panel layout. Polyester styles offer up to 50% less stretch than cross cut. Composites such as carbon, aramid, and spring (tape) styles provide the best stretch resistance, and can be made with lite skin or taffeta.
