Sails & Winches
1. Roller Furling Headsails
!
Self-tacking 95% working Jib
!
140% genoa
!
We highly recommend the self-tacking jib for the following reasons:
o
Boat is already heavily canvassed (SA/D=22.5) with jib
o
Genoa adds only ¼ knot and only in light winds (see polars)
o
In strong winds the genoa must be furled
#
Jib has better shape than a furled genoa
#
Jib has better sheeting angle than a furled genoa
o
Self tacking headsail makes tacking a joy.
o
We added the genoa for light wind racing and for cruisers who are
looking for a workout.
!
