Question 5

How can I determine if this mainsail is suitable for my boat?

Accepted Answer

This mainsail was previously used on a Kolibri 570. To ensure it fits your boat, we recommend comparing the provided dimensions (Luff: 5.7m, Foot: 2.3m, Leech: 6.05m, Sail Area: 7m²) with your boat&#8217;s specific mast and boom measurements. Key measurements to check include your boat&#8217;s &#8216;P&#8217; (luff length) and &#8216;E&#8217; (foot length) to ensure compatibility.

Question 6

How should I care for and maintain this Dacron mainsail?

Accepted Answer

To prolong the life of your Dacron mainsail:

Rinse it with fresh water after each use, especially after exposure to saltwater, and allow it to dry thoroughly to prevent mildew.
For general cleaning, spread the sail on a clean surface and gently brush with a mild detergent solution and soft bristles.
For mildew stains, a heavily diluted solution of household bleach and water can be used on Dacron, followed by thorough rinsing. Avoid pressure washing, as it can damage stitching.
Store the sail in its rollbag, away from direct UV sunlight and excessive heat, as high temperatures can deform Dacron.
Avoid excessive flogging when hoisting or lowering, as this can weaken the sailcloth and cause it to lose shape.
