Thanks for looking. Up for grabs is this Doyle sails UPS , Utility Power Sail / Gennaker. it is in new condition and has never been deployed. it comes with sheets , sailbag and a Chutescoop dousing sock. You could easily add a Code Zero continuous line fuller , but my application didn't have enough room outboard of the headstay. It is designed to be used either way.
Measurements:
Sail Area: 30.52 square meters
Luff (Tack) 10.1 meter
Leech (Clew) 9.1 meter
foot: 5.3 meter
Girth: 65%

The sail was made about 3 years ago for a boat that I no longer own. The cost of sail , Chutescoop etc was approximately: $2400.

The boat it was made for is a Vancouver 25 , a heavy , full keel Bluewater cruiser in a small package.
specs:
LOA: 29
LWL : 21.67
Beam: 8.6
Draft: 4
Disp.: 7380 lbs.
Ballast: 2600 lb.

This sail will work on similar boats in the 25-32 ft. range.

I'm selling because I no longer need it and I'm funding other projects to get my present boat ready to cruise.

Feel free to ask any and all questions , and I'll answer to the best of my ability.

I'm offering the sail for $2000. or a reasonable best offer plus shipping.
You can also pick it up in San Francisco's East Bay.

Thanks for looking!

It’s the first sail for cruisers who’ve done away with cumbersome, overlapping genoas but don’t want to give up power in light air, or performance at any wind speed while reaching or running.

The UPS is lightweight. It sets and furls on its own luff rope and furler. It goes upwind and downwind. It flies like a spinnaker, but cannot collapse like a spinnaker, even when sailing as close as 33 degrees apparent. The effective wind range of a UPS is 33-180 degrees apparent.

The UPS sets on its own flexible Vectran line so there\’s no need to remove your furling genoa, and it stores in its own bag when not in use.

When sailing hard on the wind the jib and main work almost as one, and thus the combined elliptical profile determines the aerodynamic efficiency. When eased off, or reaching, the sails act more independently and the geometry of each is critical to performance. The sail designers at Doyle have developed shaping techniques that support critical roach area in headsails without the need for battens so you can enjoy the efficiency of an elliptical form and have a sail that can be easily furled! Thus, not only does the Doyle UPS provide more area for light air and for off the wind sailing it provides much greater efficiency!"
