J/22
Our J/22 sails are designed for easy trimming and maximum performance in all wind and wave conditions.
All of our sails are made using the best materials on the market and are designed with our exclusive AccuCut 3D* and Azure Project which allows us to constantly monitor and change our own designs and tuning guides. The experts at UK sailmakers can ensure that our One-Design sails will meet or exceed your expectations.

Designs are constantly updated. New materials, hours of on-the-water testing, and race results are all contributing factors. The J/22 Tuning guide will help you precisely tune the rig and trim the sails, freeing up the crew to concentrate on tactics and speed.
UK Sailmakers J/22 inventory is the AP Mainsail, two Jibs (Light & Medium), and an AP Running Spinnaker.
AP MAINSAIL
The UK Texas Mainsail has a shorter leech. This allows for more roach, providing extra sail area higher up. This sail was designed for all conditions and is compatible with both the flat and angled mast step.
Cut: Cross-cut panels with elliptical radial clew reinforcement, radial patches for clew and head allowing longer durability, Azure design software.
Material: Dimension Polyant 230HTP High Aspect Dacron.
