Racing sail : asymmetric spinnaker
V5 Quantum Sails

Perhaps the most versatile asymmetrical, the v5 comes as close as possible to being the perfect all-purpose offwind sail. Smaller and even easier to handle than a full sized v3, it provides un-matched reaching performance with good downwind speed. With typical girths of 90% or less, it design is geared towards tighter wind angles than traditional cruising spinnakers. It takes full advantage of the structural advances and three dimensional shaping characteristics of the modern asymmetrical. The v3 can be carried well inside a beam reach, even in moderate wind conditions.
At the same time, the v5 projects enough area to weather to deliver all-around broad reaching speed. It is the perfect size for the short-handed crew, and is particularly well adapted to today'more easily driven hull forms and lighter displacement. With it's strength, specialized shaping, and moderate size, the v5 can be comfortably used in breezy conditions as well.
