Radial Taffeta Sails – Where Performance Meets Durability

Experience the perfect balance of durability and performance with our Radial Taffeta sails. Using cutting-edge construction techniques and premium materials, these sails are engineered to deliver exceptional performance while standing up to the challenges of regular use.

Radial Panel Layout

Radial sails were the only performance construction choice before Titanium, X-Drive, and other loadpath construction methods were invented. The advanced radial panel design optimizes load distribution throughout the sail, ensuring better shape retention and improved performance across all wind conditions.

Unlike traditional cross-cut sails, our radial construction aligns the structural elements of each panel with the sail’s primary load paths, resulting in superior shape holding and enhanced sailing efficiency. This technical advantage translates to better sailing efficiency and control.

Radial cut mainsails and jibs are still a viable performance option for racers or cruisers who seek a more affordable performance option.

Taffeta Protection

To protect your new radial cut sail, UK Sailmakers recommends adding our unique double-layer of protective taffeta. Taffeta provides unmatched durability and UV protection, ensuring your sails maintain their shape and performance characteristics for years to come, even under heavy use. The double-layer design creates a protective shield around your sail’s structural fibers, dramatically extending sail life while maintaining shape and performance.
