OFFWIND – RACING – ASYMMETRIC SPINNAKER
This is an area that is undergoing significant development in the sail making world. With the changes to IRC rules on Code sails and the previous 75% girth rule asymmetric spinnakers can now be tailored to work both deep down wind and as close winded as 50̊ by blending a mix of sailmaking technology and improvements in fabrics. Not quite the magic sail that does everything perfectly but a quiver of carefully selected off wind sails will cover most eventualities. We select, the best high performance downwind and cross wind materials matched with a custom design for each sail to precisely match your boat, style of sailing and type of racing.
THE SPECIFICATION
Our racing asymmetric spinnaker is manufactured in your unique colour panel configuration of branded high-performance fabrics. Each panel (including graduated corner reinforcing patches) is bonded then seamed in 3 step zig-zag Sunstop stitching (with advanced UV protection). The sail features colour-coded tapes along all edges of the sail, corner reinforcements, an adjustable Dyneema luff line and stainless steel external O-rings at the clew, tack and head. This sail is completed with a high quality all-purpose Cordura side launch bag and a sail trim guide written by our team of experts.
