A gennaker is a sail that is chosen for sailing in wider angles from the wind. In appearance, it is a cross between a jib and a spinnaker (asymmetrical spinnaker). This sail was developed in the nineties, initially it was primarily used on regatta sailboats to bridge the gap between jib sails and spinnakers, and with the arrival of newer times and faster/lighter vessels, the gennaker representation has grown further. In charter companies when renting boats, the gennaker is usually the only sail for sailing downwind because it is generally easier to use.
The usefulness of headsails/kites and gennakers is multiple. We will agree that the first association with them is a regatta, speed, attraction, victory… The question is whether they would remember to say “comfort”. The mission of this program is to introduce you to the advantages of gennakers and the comfort side of these gentle giants.
A gennaker is a sail used to improve the performance of a sailboat when sailing downwind.
They are generally made of easily knitted materials – nylon, and by nature have an asymmetric cut (unlike spinnakers). It is a very light sail which allows it to flutter/form on light wind, but due to the weave and type of material it will withstand quite heavy wind force and is highly tear resistant.
