The F18 Decksweapers are the flagship sails of our brand. Great design, high-quality materials and attention to details creates perfection.
The results and the popularity of these sails are thanks to the outstanding design that we’ve worked on and been developing continuously with “the big names” of the sailing world, such as Dany Paschalidis, Trigonis Konstantinos, Mitch Booth and his family, and Darren Bundock who won the 2019 World Championship with a 1D Sail.
We offer the F18 sails to all brands of boats, all types of masts and crew weights.
Many of the Scorpions are equipped with 1D Sails. We are official sail suppliers for Cirrus Catamarans and Falcon F18s.

Nylon: A durable material, that you can hold in your snuffer bag even, and while the material will last longer, the lifetime of it's shape will last shorter.GENNAKER COLOUR:

F18 RESULTS
As the F18 1D Sails are compatible with all boat and brand types the F18 class proved it’s potential in the past couple of years. The 1D Sail sets won in Argentina, Spain, Italy, and on international regattas. But what really makes this sail type unique is the number of sailors who chose the 1D brand, shape and quality that was designed for racing.
In the Argentinian and Spanish Nationals the majority (70+%) of the fleet were 1D Sails.
In 2019 more than 40% of the F18 World Championship fleet sailed with 1D Sails.
