Specifications are subject to change without notice
-
A high boom allows an easy run from wing to wing in the tacks and gibes.
-
A solid wing makes for easy moving around the boat.
-
Plexus, a tough Methacrylate adhesive, bonds the spinnaker throat to deck.
-
Pulling the halyard extends the carbon fiber spinnaker pole, pulls the tack and hoists the spinnaker.
-
Pulling the other end releases the halyard, pulls the spinnaker into its chute and retracts the pole.
-
The ram vang, pushing down on the boom, saves the mast from inverting and creates space forward under the boom.
-
The self-tacking jib runs on a curved traveler spanning the deck in front of the mast.
-
Wings slide inboard for storage and trailering.
