Mainsail

Mainsail guide: selection and specifications

A mainsail is the primary driving sail set aft of the mast on the main boom or mast track. It accounts for 40–60 % of total sail power and determines balance, helm feel and heavy-weather behaviour. This page details the four core mainsail configurations – full-batten, partial-batten, in-mast furling and storm trysail – plus sizing, reefing and end-of-life options.
