SailFast Tri,

Sailing in light air is also a function of having the right sails on board. In addition to the standard genoa, we have equipped our 440 with a moderate sized gennaker (roughly eqivalent to a 130-150 genoa), a larger gennaker (about the size of a 170-180 genoa) and a large asymetrical cruising spinnaker with a sleeve. We have the spinnaker rigged so that the tack can be positioned anywhere between the two hulls, which gives it a very large spectrum of effectiveness.

Smooth sailing & Have a Blessed Day!!!
