The TAG 60 has been designed to be sailed single handed and this includes reefing the mainsail. All sail and sheet operations are carried out from the helm station. Handling the TAG 60 couldn't be easier. The mainsail and jib sheet are controlled with push button sail controls. If you want to tack or gybe, simply put the helm down and adjust the sheets onto the new tack with your fingers.

The real gain is when you have to reef, normally you would have to send a crew to the mast to tuck in a reef and do a highly coordinated process which at night in zero visibility and tough conditions isn't the safest thing to be doing. The TAG has a unique furling boom design and is the world’s first hybrid design that allows us to carry high performance mainsail roach yet still have an in boom reefing function. You can reef the mainsail to any position single handed and also shake the reef out just as easy. What this means is that you will be able to tune the rig configuration easier and because it’s easy – you will do it more often. This means a safe, confident and happy crew because you are sailing at your optimum all the time.

The other sails are operated from the helm station also. The halyards, furling lines, sheets etc are all easy to reach and from the helm position you have a great view of the sails at all times. Ask us about our secret trysail design. So simple and easy to use – this is another example of the innovative thinking that has gone into the TAG 60.

One of the biggest areas of concern when manoeuvring a cat is how to bring it alongside a marina or back it into a tight space. The TAG 60 not only has electric drive propulsion which provides instant torque, it also has the best helm position to confidently bring the vessel in no matter what the situation. It’s really important to be able to see down the hull length fore and aft so you can judge the direction/distance and also look over the side and get a real gauge on how far you are from the dockside. Manoeuvring a catamaran from a central helm position or even slightly inboard, just makes it that much harder to do.
