V32 Sailboat Sails
Windjammin Sails are 100% legal racing sails for the V32. They are made of a single-panel Dacron and cut to comply with the V32 Sail Control Drawing. However, WJ Sails has taken these plain white sails one step further by printing the illusion that these sails incorporate the hottest revolution in sailmaking - membrane technology just like the high tech America's Cup Yachts and Volvo Ocean Racers.
Membrane Technology is where sails are created over full-sized 3-dimensional molds by sandwiching a scrim cloth and a yarn layout between two thin Mylar films, then heat fusing everything to make a single cloth-like sail. The sails have fibers running up the leech, and tack fibers radiate out to the leech and many fibers from the clew radiate to points along the luff creating an interlocking structural grid that stretches less for its weight, holds its shape over a wider wind range, and retains its designed shape longer. This membrane technology has dominated sailboat racing worldwide. Membrane sails were used exclusively by the America's Cup and every team racing in both the 2002-2003 and 2005-2006 Volvo Ocean Race.
Every Sail Includes
All Windjammin V32 sails come standard with:
- 1Reinforced starburst corners which distribute the stretch and load better, yielding a smoother, longer-lasting sail.
- 2Battens which help hold the leech and keep the sail area outside the pull line supported.
- 3Tell Tales — 2 pair on the jib, 1 pair on the main, and 2 on main leech.
- 4V32 Symbol printed on both sides of the sail.
- 5Luff wire installed in jib.
- 6Sail Numbers included on the main (jib numbers are extra).
When Will My Sails Arrive?
Every sail is custom-made by hand in the order it was received.
I understand that this is a long wait and I greatly apologize for this long lead time. I have a full time job at The Sailors' Tailor and a family to take care of, so I am limited to making sails in my spare time. Due to the high demand for my sails, I have a lot of orders to fulfill and a limited amount of time to do so. I hope you can appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of my work, and I assure you that I am doing my best to deliver your sail as soon as possible.
“I'm a one-person operation working around a full-time job and family. Every sail gets my full attention — your patience means the world to me.”
If you are in a bind, and need your sails ASAP... then I do offer a RUSH Service to get your sails shipped in 10 days or less - fees apply.
Please only choose RUSH for true emergencies, as I can only take on a limited number at a time.
Rush orders are accepted only when my schedule allows. Most sailors plan ahead and are fine waiting their turn — it's worth the wait.
