All Rotostay reefing systems are fitted according to stay diameter rather than the headsail area. Each Rotostay Regatta is supplied complete with all the items specified in the brochure. Models with the suffix S (e.g. R700S) are designed for staysails or smaller sails on short but relatively heavy stays. If in doubt as to the correct model to suit your yacht please contact us.

...the UK’s largest manufacturer and supplier of headsail reefing gear is proud to introduce Rotostay Regatta, a new range of reefing systems for yachts up to 14 metres.

Rotostay have been in the forefront of reefing gear design and innovation since 1972 and have achieved an enviable reputation for quality, reliability and safety which is acknowledged worldwide by designers, sailmakers and yactsmen.

Unlike other companies we specialise in designing and manufacturing reefing gear not only for cruising yachts but also commercial ships and sail training vessels. So, no matter whether your boat is 500 tons or only 5 metres, the chances are, we will have already made a system to suit her rig.

This depth of experience and product dedication is truly reflected in our new stainless steel reefing system.

The Rotostay Commitment
Design and development, quality control and after sales service are all part of our commitment to our products and ultimately our customers. This commitment and the reputation we have gained over the past 35 years have been good enough reasons for many yachtsmen to change to Rotostay. Here are some more good reasons why you should insist on a new Rotostay Regatta.

The suffix ‘S’ on models (eg. R700S), are designed for staysails or smaller sails on short but relatively heavy stays.

1. Rotostay Regatta comes absolutely complete and even includes a new stainless steel forestay so that we can genuinely guarantee the operation and safety of the system.

2. Rotostay Regatta is easy to operate. Our precision machined stainless steel thrust bearings are fitted to both the drum and halyard swivels to ensure smooth reefing under all conditions.

3. Rotostay Regatta only uses the best marine grade 316 stainless steel for all structural components.

4. Rotostay Regatta has our unique deep slot reefing drum which allows you to use a full hoist Genoa for light weather sailing or racing.

5. Rotostay Regatta uses our well proven aerodynamically shaped luff spar. Precision machined joining links ensure perfect alignment and constant torque transmission.

6. Rotostay Regatta has built in turnbuckle with full forestay adjustment to ensure correct mast rake and rig tension.

7. Rotostay Regatta has a stainless steel drum cage to prevent spills and reefing line tangles.

8. Rotostay Regatta is so simple to assemble you will probably do it yourself. Full illustrated instructions show the way and how to maintain the system.

9. Rotostay Regatta comes with a 5 year parts warranty.

10. Rotostay Regatta is manufactured in the UK and is excellent value for money.

So when you buy a new Rotostay Regatta not only do you get a perfectly engineered product, “made to measure” from the best materials, but more importantly a complete system that will safely reef down your headsail and keep your mast stayed whatever the conditions.
