- Genoa sail, 206 sq. ft (150%)
The Genoa jib is a large forward sail that replaces the smaller jib and
provides a very large increase in sail area. Like the jib, it attaches
to the forward wire that holds up the mast (headstay), and sheets to
adjustable blocks mounted on a track on the cockpit coaming
- Genoa equipment (with adjustable fairlead
blocks and sheets)
- Jib equipment (with adjustable low profile
fairlead blocks and sheets
- Roller furling system-- Cruising Design Model
FF2 (for jib and/or genoa)
This system consists of a tough plastic extrusion that slips over the
headstay, and a hardware system for rotating the furling extrusion. The
leading edge of either the jib or genoa slides into a groove on the
rear side of the extrusion. By pulling on a line that leads back to the
cockpit, the extrusion can be rotated, rolling up the jib or genoa just
like a window shade is rolled up on it's roller.
The roller furling system offers the single most effective way of
exactly matching the amount of sail area to the amount of wind. The
boat will sail very well with the jib or genoa completely rolled up,
partially unrolled, or completely unrolled to full size. The sail keeps
it's shape no matter how much is rolled in. It is particularly useful
when sailing into the wind. If the wind becomes too strong, and the
boat is leaning too much, simply roll up some headsail and ease the
pressure on the rig. In many situations, the boat will actually sail
faster with less sail. All this can be done from the cockpit, and it is
not necessary for anyone to go to the foredeck to reduce sail area.
In areas where winds are generally heavy, skippers will usually keep
the jib on the furler. In light wind areas, the genoa will be attached.
It takes only a few minutes to switch the sails on the furler.
- Cruising spinnaker, with sheets. (No additional
equipment is required.)
The sail is easy to fly and colorful. It adds a lot of sail area and
provides an amazing amount of speed when sailing downwind. It is flown
and controlled just like a jib or genoa. Unlike conventional racing
spinnakers, it does not require a spinnaker pole or extra hardware.
- Vang (for better control of mainsail shape)
- Mast raising system, with brake winch, side
supports, pole and all hardware
- Steering linkage bar, for connecting the
steering system to the outboard motor
- Self contained marine head
- Built-in counter top alcohol stove
- Ice chest in rear dinette seat
- Table filler cushion
- Cockpit seat cushions
- Cockpit sun shade
The optional sunshade is a comfort on really hot days. It folds back,
out of the way, when not in use. It can be left in place for powering
or sailing. On a hot summer day, you will always be cooler on the water.
- Boarding and swim ladder
The optional stainless steel ladder can be used for swimming or for
boarding the boat while it is on the trailer. The ladder has a
significant slope to the rear which makes it easier to use than one
that is vertical.
