Cruising Spinnaker

The Cruising Spinnaker is smaller than a full size spinnaker, but larger than a genoa. This very light and performance-minded sail may be flown with or without a spinnaker pole. It is an excellent short-handed light air flyer. The cruising Spinnaker should be used with a Chute Scoop for added handling ability .

Asymmetrical

The Cruising Asymmetrical, as we've come to know it, is really a symmetrical spinnaker with one leech/luff cut about three feet shorter. The true asymmetrical which we see on the Cup boats, the newer J class boats, and the Melges 24 is a completely different sail. With a defined luff/leech, the draft is forward of center and the overall size is "huge." Of course it can be size altered for your specific purpose. They are new and exciting and offer a new experience to your sailing.

Tri-Radial

A long time "all-purpose" industry standard has been the Tri-Radial Spinnaker. It is not as popular today as Warp Cut tri-Radial, but it is still an excellent sail for the right boat and purpose. The Tri-Radial is priced slightly less than the Warp True Tri-Radial, with optional weights and fabrics.

Warp True Tri Radial

This is the strongest and fastest spinnaker available today. It is called Warp True Tri-Radial because the fabric is laid out in the panel direction aimed along the load map of the sail. Maximum strength is absorbed from the fabric so that the sail is as strong as it can be. It shows its true value on larger boats where strength can really be tested. The Warp True Tri-Radial can be made from a variety of weights and fabrics.
