Headsail Cruising Storm-bag Delta Voiles

The Headsail Cruising Storm-bag Delta Voiles is an essential active safety solution for sailing in extreme weather conditions, where a classic furling genoa becomes ineffective, dangerous for the rigging, and difficult to handle. Designed as a special emergency storm jib for furling systems, this headsail can be deployed in seconds using three pre-mounted snap hooks and is operated directly from the cockpit. Its very low center of effort limits excessive heeling, ensuring excellent boat control and improved crew safety in heavy weather. A multihull version is also available, specifically adapted to the loads and rigging constraints of catamarans and trimarans.

Crafted for cruisers and sailors who value comfort and safety, this Cruising sail is made from durable materials such as Dacron or cruising laminates. It offers good shape retention, easy handling, and high reliability on all points of sail—perfect for coastal or offshore cruising programs.
