Racing-cruising sail : gennaker
(custom-made) Elvstrom Sails
CODE 0 & CODE 5
The range Gennaker Racing Elvstrom Sails was developed to adapt as well as possible to the configurations of gréement modern and evolutions of gauge, which tend to limit surfaces of the genoa sails more and more.
More specifically intended for the boats of class "Center console", code 0 is very close to a light genoa sail on the level of the forms.
Code 5 as for him will be connected more with an asymmetrical spi and is intended for the measured units IRC which will regard it as a spinnaler and not as a genoa sail (as it would be the case of a code 0, at the price of a heavy penalization).
Both have jointly to give a maximum of horses to the paces of reaching (90-60° of the wind), to even see, for code 0, with near in the small airs.
One and the other is in addition equipped with an anti-torsion bolt rope by allowing the use associated with a drum.
The considerable loads applied to these sails bring to privilege solutions such as sails with composite roving panel (polyester, kevlar or carbon).
The most demanding projects will not hesitate as for them to call upon qualities of stability of exclusive technology Epex.
