Championship-Winning Flying Scot Racing Mainsails

At Mad Sails, we don’t just build sails; we race with them. As an avid Flying Scot sailor, Ryan has meticulously refined our patterns to capture every ounce of boat speed. Each Mad racing sail is precision-cut from high-performance class-minimum-weight Dimension Polyant SQ HTP® plus sailcloth and handcrafted in our loft with careful attention to detail.

Choose Your Weapon: Crosscut vs. Radial Head & Clew

Whether you are racing in light-air lake conditions or heavy-weather coastal regattas, you need an engine that is going to make your Scot Fly!:

The All-Purpose (AP) Crosscut: Our “tried and true” design. This is a proven contender with trophy cabinets full of Club, District and National Championship wins. It is engineered for maximum versatility and ease of trim across all wind conditions.
The AP Radial Head & Clew: Designed for teams that regularly race in heavy air. By orienting the panels in the direction of the highest loads at the head and clew, this design offers superior shape retention and prevents the draft from migrating aft when the breeze kicks up.

The “Mighty Mouse” – The Heavy Air Game Changer

Our latest innovation is the Mighty Mouse, a flatter-cut mainsail with reduced roach and sail area. Specifically designed for lightweight crews or high-wind venues, it allows you to keep the boat flat and fast without sacrificing pointing ability. As one top customer put it: “A total game changer in heavy air that stays surprisingly competitive even as the wind drops.”

Visibility & Safety

The optional gigantic luff window provides an unobstructed view of your jib leech and the critical slot between the main and jib, allowing for perfect trim and safer crossing on the race course.

What’s Included with Every Race Main:

Reinforced Corner Patches: Radial patches at the head and clew to minimize weight and optimize strength in these high-load areas.
RBS Tapered Battens: For a smooth, aerodynamic exit.
Full Visibility Package: Upper and foot windows plus high-visibility tell-tales.
Class Ready: Sail numbers, FS class insignia, and the required $30 Flying Scot class royalty tag.
Protection: Heavy-duty sail tie and a breathable roll bag for off-water protection.
