JIBING WITH GENNAKER
Bear off to downwind course without jibing the mainsail. Then pull over to gennaker quickly
– make sure the gennaker sheet that you just released, is fully free to go all the way. Pull the
gennaker to windward and when the gennaker is 2 to 3 metres to windward past the
forestay, then you jibe the mainsail over. Never jibe the mainsail before the gennaker.
TAKING DOWN THE GENNAKER
NEVER sail with gennaker without the mainsail!!!!!
Bear off to a downwind course, pull the sheet in tight, slacken the tack line completely off.
Spinnaker will fly back behind the mainsail, where there is a vacuum and even in stronger
winds, the spinnaker will find the wind "shadow" behind the mainsail. Now you can easily
pull down the spinnaker sock. Make sure to stow away the spinnaker and all lines, before
you furl out the genoa again and before you change up into a higher course closer to the
wind.
CODE-0
The Code-0 furling system (tack) must NOT be installed at the end of the bowsprit using the
tack line!!!
The Code-0 must only be installed on the steel eye on the upper side of the bowsprit on the
same stainless fitting that supports the bowsprit sideways and down to the bow.
This means you must install the Code-0 sail and furler before you fold out the bowsprit.
Always go downwind when furling the sail in.
Never use the Code-0 upwind in more than max 8 knots of true wind.
ANCHORING
Use chain (8 mm diameter) or 12-14 mm rope with internal lead up front by the anchor of
minimum 5 meters and thereafter flexible anchor line.
Total length of anchor line should be minimum 5 times the depth – more is better!
PRECAUTION
Before anchoring check the depth of water, current power and nature of the seabed and
stones.
By beaching or drying out the boat beware of rocks and stones. Only beach the boat on sand.
