Flatten a baggy main
Remove the excess draft that’s crept in over the seasons so the sail sets flat and points again.
Recut & reshape
Get the shape back.
A sail that’s gone soft and baggy has lost the shape that makes it work. A recut flattens the excess, re-tensions the leech and pulls the draft back where it belongs — often for a fraction of a new sail.
What a recut does
When a reshape is the smart spend
Not every tired sail needs replacing. If the cloth still has life, a recut can restore most of the performance for much less — and we’ll tell you honestly when it’s worth it and when it isn’t.
Re-tension the leech
Sort a hooked or fluttering leech so the sail is quiet, controllable and drives properly.
Move the draft forward
Bring the deepest point of the sail back to where it should be for power and pointing.
We’ll tell you straight
If the cloth is past it, a recut is throwing good money after bad — and we’ll say so.
