Tall Ship Project

Tall ship sails are always interesting projects in terms of sail design, given the rigging configuration and the forestay loads.
A total of 34 sails were designed in December for a project currently in its final stages.
For this type of sail, Newport Endeavour 12.8 oz or 15.8 oz are the most suitable choice, thanks to its soft finish and its construction.
