Cross Cut Half-Batten Mainsail:
Economical type of construction for boaters looking for a good compromise between price and longevity. We have selected the AP of CONTENDER for its Polypreg finish ensuring a very good longevity to the fabric.
The Strengths of a Cross Cut Half-Batten Mainsail:
- The price
- Durability thanks to the polypreg finishing of CONTENDER fabrics
- Horizontal slats facilitate handling during reefing and shifting.
- Leech of the sail much better held than on a classic sail.

- Fabric CONTENDER Fibercon® Pro Vectran:
This fabric combines the high-quality characteristics of Fibercon® yarns with the exceptional stretch resistance and flexibility of adding Vectran yarns.
We recommend a firm Polypreg finish for our Fibercon® Pro Vectran fabric.
The Polypreg finish is optimized for the greater diagonal stability required for performance sails.
There is an extra cost, but you will feel the difference .......
