The North
Genoa was purchased by the original owner of Sirocco prior to 2007when we purchased her. We used the sail to go,to
Mexico for 8 months in 2011. Since that time the sail has been stored in a bag in my garage. We participate in club
racing and have other night tech
sails for that purpose.
We found the foam luff to be a nice feature to shorten the
head sail if the
wind picks up. We could reef it to about a 90%
jib. So the
wind range of the sail is zero to 30 kn.
I put a short pennant on the tack so the foot is always above the
lifelines to eliminate chafing. I recently spent about $600 to upgrade the sail with a new uv cover because the
Mexico sun compromised the cover. Overall, it is a $4,000 sail new and is in good condition. Hope this helps.
