| For details of
cruising sails go to sail specifications.
At Dolphin our philosophy is to
apply the same attention to detail no matter how large or
small the boat, whether racing or cruising.
Where possible we will measure
the boat's rig, set-up characteristics, and discuss with you
any personal preferences. Our experience with building racing
sails enables us to bring a wide based knowledge to the design
and construction of your cruising sails. This experience is
invaluable for the production of sails with excellent shape
holding, that help you to get to your destination as quickly
as possible. Boat speed is important. How often do we hear
"I'm not worried about boat speed", but when we
actually get out there we tweak and trim to try to get past
the boat in front? We can't help ourselves! |

Of equal importance of course is the
ease of handling and use of a sail. Dolphin take care to ensure
both the sail handling and sail handling systems make your cruising
as pleasurable an experience as possible.

| A wide range of
fabrics are available from the highly durable Dacron, through
single sided laminates to sandwich laminates.
Dacron fabrics are generally used
in a cross-cut construction giving good shape holding and
great longevity.
For enhanced shape holding, weight
saving and speed, a tri-radial construction utilising the
warp orientated laminated fabrics is employed.
