Tuff Luff genoa and jib forestay profiles
Tuff-luff forestay profiles have been marketleader for many years, and are the standard for racing sailing yachts. The twin-groove profile ensures easy sail changes between different genoa and jib foresails.
More Marine is European Distributor and has got most models on stock for direct shipment across Europe.
The latest Tuff Luff Aero has got even a better shape for minimum wind-drag and maximum lift. This makes sure to have the best upwind performance out of your sailing yacht!
Why use Tuff luff on your boat?
Forestay profiles have proven to work the best way for the airflow around the genoa. When using furlers or hanks, the wind in the first part of the luff of the genoa
is turbulent and therefore not effective.
TuffLuff profiles do not disturb the wind so the genoa is much more effective in general.
This makes the sailing boat go faster and higher upwind.
The tuff luff Aero even creates a small lift due to its revolutionary design! Less drag, more lift, these are the ingredients to win your race!

Tuff Luff Aero
Tuff Luff headstay profiles have been the choice and market leader for many years. They are the standard on racing sailboats. The twin groove foil provides easy and fast racing sails changes.
The aerodynamic shape gives a steady stream of air for the Genoa or Jib, with faster reattachment to the sail. Giving less drag with more lift!
No modifications to the sailing yacht rig or sails have to be made. The Unique design of the Tuff-Luff allows for a lightweight and very fast installation
The Tuff Luff Aero compared to the standard tuffluff head stay profile, has a even better airfoil shape. The aerodynamic shape gives a steady stream of air for the Genoa or Jib, with faster reattachment to the sail. Giving less drag with more lift!
Made from Polycarbonate which is much lighter, stronger and more durable than comparative headstay profiles.
No modifications to the sailing yacht rig or sails have to be made. The Unique design of the Tuff-Luff Aero allows for a lightweight and very fast installation.
