Sailors wanted a sail that was as easy to handle as a furling top drifter, but unlike the drifter, it should not be designed for upwind courses. The ideal operating range of this sail lies between 50\u00b0 apparent wind angle (AWA) in light winds and up to 135\u00b0 in stronger winds.<br \/>Such sails already existed on IMS racing yachts. These Code Zeros are highly specialized sails\u2014free\u2011flying and just full enough to achieve a mid\u2011girth of 75%, allowing them to be measured as spinnakers rather than genoas. However, Code Zero designs are very complex to trim and therefore not ideal as cruising sails. Through our profile and outline adjustments, we were able to transform this high\u2011end racing sail into an easy\u2011to\u2011trim cruising sail with virtually no loss of performance.<br \/>So what does the furling gennaker look like?<br \/>Inspired by the Code Zero, we gave the furling gennaker a rounder entry and slightly more profile depth, making it easier to trim. The sail features a Dyneema luff rope integrated directly into the luff. When tensioned during hoisting, it provides excellent handling and prevents uncontrolled flogging of the sail. Furling and unfurling, as well as hoisting and dousing, become effortless. A Bartels endless\u2011line furler is available as an optional extra.<br \/>The mid\u2011girth has been reduced to 60%, and both the luff and leech curves have been flattened. These adjustments give the sail its high profile stability. Due to the smaller mid\u2011girth, the area of the furling gennaker is about 15% smaller than that of an all\u2011round cruising gennaker.<br \/>Nylon cloth processed along load paths and large reinforcements keep stretch to a minimum even in stronger winds, ensuring excellent profile integrity.<br \/>All these modifications make the furling gennaker an ideal sail for family crews or single\u2011handed sailors. We are confident that this sail will win many fans.                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past, we were frequently asked about a gennaker suitable for cruising yachts.
