Masthead Genaker
In light winds, a masthead Genaker of
approximately 70 square meters can be
carried instead of the normal jib or cruising
jib. With the Genaker, the DEHLER 35CWS
quickly reaches its best speed on any
course.
The masthead Genaker is set flying
between the spinnaker pole, which is
extended as a bowsprit, and the masthead.
Pull the tack of the sail to the eye of the
spinnaker pole, using a tack line that is then
belayed on a bow deck cleat. Haul the luff
tight using the masthead Genaker halyard.
The Genaker is controlled by sheets led
through blocks attached 9with stand-up
springs) to toe rail plates, and the coaming
winch which can be operated either
manually or electrically.
Roller-furled high aspect jib
The biradial-cut sail is manufactured from
differing cloth strengths. A continuous
fibreglass sail batten running parallel to the
forestay ensures that the sail is furled
cleanly.
The leech is cut concave and has no further
battens. The sail is also equipped with
trimming lines in the foot and leech.
The headsail sliding cars are infinitely
adjustable on their own tracks, and
adjustments are made by control lines led
to clutches on the coachroof to port and
starboard.

spinnaker and normal spinnaker.
TIP
Hoist the sail in its sleeve (snuffer) with
the jib still up. Then ease the snuffer
sleeve up to the masthead and belay
the endless line to a mast cleat. Only
then should the jib be furled.
TIP
To achieve optimum sail shape after
the first reef stage, the sail batten must
be rolled up fully. When the sail is re-
trimmed, the upper and lower batten
ends should no longer be visible
