Dart 18 mainsail

Dart 18 mainsail including sail bag, tell tales, and batten-ties. Original and class legal. The mainsail of the Dart 18 ensures years of sailing pleasure with proper use. Made of exceptionally durable Dacron fabric. The sail is supplied excluding battens.

To set up the new sail: insert the battens and hand-tighten them, hoist the sail in calm weather, and tension the cunningham and mainsheet tightly. Keep the entire setup under tension for appr. 20 minutes. The sail has now taken its proper shape and does not require further breaking in.

When using different mainsheet blocks (with more delay) than the original Dart 18 blocks, there is a high risk of damaging the sail; the sail is designed for original Dart 18 blocks.

The sail will last longer if, after sailing, the battens are untied, and the sail is rolled up from the top. Untying the battens releases the tension from the sail, preventing it from losing its shape during storage. This significantly promotes the lifespan.

Numbers and letters can be supplied as an additional option and can be ffixed into the sail by Sailcenter. Choose 300mm numbers and letters; black is most common, but red and blue are also allowed and available.

For the cunningham, additional delay is allowed. Attach the Allen 30mm A2030 block to the mast anchor and use V-cleat R4961 or the stronger HK244 (with ball bearings) as a clamp with a double-guided roller. The cunningham can now be tensioned much more easily!
