Racing-cruising sail : symmetrical spinnaker
(custom-made) North Sails Sailmaking
These are sails exclusively for downwind sailing. For sure more difficult to handle, the Spinnaker is mostly a downwind sail. For narrower angles, the Gennaker shows its potential: it is definitely an easy-to-handle sail, especially for cruising and for small crew. The construction can be both TriRadial and True TriRadial. TriRadial features a radial cut for clews and head, and horizontal panels in the middle of the sail. True TriRadial is the same as the above, but features a fully radial cut, also in the middle of the sail; obviously it is stronger and performs better especially at narrower angles. The cloth used is NorLon, Nylon product by North Cloth. Weights availables: 0.5 oz., 0.75 oz., 1.5 oz., 2.5 oz.
