Racing sail : genoa
Shore Sails
Bill recognizes the importance of building a genoa that holds its shape while wind and wave conditions change. Our proven computer shapes, combined with the strength characteristics of high-quality fabrics, ensure superior performance across the widest possible wind speeds.
Bill's Spider Headsails attain minimum weight by tapering the Kevlar content in the center of the sail, where loads decrease. This effect actually flattens the sail as the loads along the foot and leech increase with sheet tension. When designing your Spider Headsail, we pay strict attention to maximum area. The leech is engineered to give a consistent slot, compressing the airflow evenly along the leeward surface of the mainsail. This minimizes backwinding and produces the cleanest exit of airflow. The result is tighter sheeting on a narrower sheeting base which allows higher pointing with speed.
