A fully battened mainsail built by Ullman Sails UK for the Swan 47 S&S *Saga* has logged approximately 22,000 nautical miles across an Atlantic circuit, the Caribbean, and a circumnavigation of Ireland and the British Isles, and still looks new.3:19 Chris interviews John from Ullman Sails UK at Plymouth to discuss the sail's design and construction.Watch The sail belongs to Ullman's Voyager series, their top-end endurance line for offshore and round-the-world use.2:03 The cloth is a Dyneema-polyester hybrid in a tri-radial panel layout, chosen for shape retention, abrasion resistance, and UV durability in tropical and high-latitude conditions.3:35 Three deep reefs are built in, with low-friction rings at the reef points instead of pressed rings to reduce chafe on reefing lines.5:01 Dyneema webbing reinforces the batten pockets to protect against mast and rigging contact.4:38 John stresses that measuring the boat in person — not from owner-supplied dimensions — is critical, citing how a changed tack shackle even 30mm longer can overload the first mainsail slider.6:36 The discussion also covers a planned replacement headsail, downsizing from a 135% to a 105% to improve manageability.8:01
