Question 3

What are the advantages of an Elvstrom EMS Furling Mainsail with vertical battens?

Accepted Answer

Elvstrom EMS Furling Mainsails with vertical battens offer several benefits for cruisers and club racers:

Improved Sail Shape: The full vertical battens provide optimal support for the leech, allowing for a more effective sail shape and increased sail area (roach) compared to furling sails without battens.
Enhanced Reefing: The battens also function as reefing points, helping to stretch the luff when reefed, resulting in a flatter and more efficient sail.
Smooth Furling: The battens aid in smooth furling by stabilizing the sail and preventing folds as it retracts into the mast.
Easy Handling: This design combines easy handling from the cockpit with reliable performance, making sailing more convenient and safer, especially for short-handed crews.

Question 5

Is this sail suitable for boats other than a Dufour 455?

Accepted Answer

This sail was originally specified for a Dufour 455. The dimensions (Luff: 14.05m, Foot: 4.9m) are critical. For compatibility with other vessels, it is essential to compare these measurements against your boat&#8217;s specific rig dimensions (P and E measurements for the mainsail, and mast slot dimensions for in-mast furling systems). While the dimensions are similar to some published Dufour 455 mainsail specifications, slight variations can occur, so always verify against your boat&#8217;s actual measurements for a precise fit.

Who manufactured this mainsail?
