ultra light & ultra fast
formula 16 sails
the crosscut standard
Since 2020 we offer our clients multiple configurations or our F16 mainsails and jibs. The revolutionarily light Endumax 05 fabric gives us the opportunity to make class-legal ultra light, strong and durable crosscut sails, which in turn gives you the speed and performance you’re used to, and much more.
Of course we also offer the classic light and durable radial designed F16 sails, in both Sport and GP (decksweeper) configurations.
Our spinnakers, available in both nylon and polyester, are among the best in the business.
Take a look and see for yourself why our F16 sail range powers so many sailors.
Since the inception of one of the most popular One Design racing classes in the sailing world, Performance Sails has been on the forefront of innovation. Daring to be different, Performance Sails pioneered several key features that continue to win races to this day.
