Take the flog out of handling your
mainsail with a Hood fully battened Easi-Stow.Have you ever been in the situation whereyou need another pair of hands to reef or
stow your mainsail?Hood have developed the Easi-StowMainsail, drawing on their wealth of
experience of short-handed sailing.
The mainsail is your most important sail, used every timeyou leave the mooring; it needs to be easily handled andreduced efficiently in area as the wind increases. Hood’sEasi-Stow dispenses with the need for that extra pair of
hands!When reefing, the full length battens will steady the sailwhile you handle the lines in the normal way.And, when you’ve finished sailing for the day, just lowerthe halyard and let the Lazy-Jacks take the strain; thebattens keep the sail between the Lazy-Jack lines, whichrun from mast to boom, without assistance. The sail
flakes itself, batten by batten, neatly and quietly on top ofthe boom. The sail stays on
marine board and off the deck,making your family sailing and cruising much more
enjoyable.The Easi-Stow is a fully battened mainsail which retains aconstant aerofoil profile over a wider wind range, held inshape by pultruded GRP rod battens. Hood are the only
sailmakers in the world to weavetheir own fabric The key to hood sailcloth is that it is tightly woven, givingthe advantage of a highly durable yet easily handled sail.Your Easi-Stow Mainsail comes complete with Lazy-Jacks, self-aligning blocks, battens, etc. The onlyinstallation requirement, other than bending on yourmainsail, is the fitting of two pad eyes to the mast.
