Our Silver Tiller, Salcombe week, Inland Championships and National Championship winning designs started life back in 2004 when Andy Davis began his Merlin campaign. Andy’s Merlin Rocket sails designs have gone on to win all the major championships and various open meetings many times.
Mainsail
Our mainsails are built using Contender’s ZZ04 and Contender’s MAXX® One Design Racing Black Aramid Laminate. The battens are manufactured to HD’s custom epoxy requirements. Each sail includes black numbers, a high load Allen cunningham block, loose foot, sail bag and tell tales. Please specify mast when ordering.
Maxx Mainsail
The Maxx Mainsail is built using Contender’s MAXX® One Design Racing Black Aramid Laminate.
Contender’s patented fibre layout ensures efficient support and distribution of the loads experienced by your sail. The effect of this fibre layout is to reduce the load on the Mylar film which helps the sail to retain its shape longer.
NEW for 2026 we have been developing a Radial Mainsail built using Contender’s ZZ04, the cloth gives great stability along with great longevity. Already the new design won the 2025 Inlands showing excellent pace in the breeze.
