Details and Accessories
The next to consideration are the details and accessories. Precision Sails takes details seriously we put more time into the design and detail than anyone else, that’s what makes us different. Sail hardware components such as: Battens, Reefs, Sail Controls, Identifications, Reinforcements, Stitching, Luff attachments, Headboards, Foot and Clew, Lines and Cleats, and Sail Indicators are important things to ponder which affect the performance of your sail. The following video from one of our senior designers, Jeremy, describes the intricacies of mainsail luff attachment hardware and systems.
An example of an accessory you might want is a spinnaker sock – see the following video to see how it works
