![]() ![]() In fact, they use this sail so much now that they have had a UV strip fitted so that they can leave it hoisted for longer periods and it has become their cruising sail of choice. Produced in a code zero laminate with an EPEX luff, that is high density fiber luff. The patented Reflex system provides sailors confidence that their code zero sails will furl completely with speed and control. It’s also that much easier to get in and out of the sail locker and is used a great deal more as a result. Can be designed as a 65 and a 75 code zero. Indeed, there has been a significant load reduction.īut the benefits for the owner and crew of ‘G2’ go further with a big increase in the range of conditions that the sail can be used. The owner of ‘G2’ is always very keen on sailing the boat and so the sail handling was a priority for the crew, – with the new technology they are not only able to use the sail in a much wider range of wind angles and speeds, but the sail furls reliably and is much easier to handle on deck. Of the many examples of yachts that have already benefited from Cableless sails is the 39-metre Tripp designed G2. Built by Vitters in 2009 and re-fitted by Pendennis in 2018, her sail carries greater luff projection, making the sail more powerful and efficient without increasing any loads. And when the code zero does come down, itʼs a lot easier to handle on deck and stow than a heavier sail with a luff cable. One big advantage of Doyleʼs Cableless technology is that it allows code sails to be built much lighter, which means that yachts can keep them hoisted and furled while sailing upwind, ready for instant deployment, rather than having to drop and stow them. Our exclusive Cableless technology is a revolutionary sailmaking application that eliminates the use of torsion cables - increasing the range in upwind and downwind angles results in more luff projection and less weight. Cableless Cruising Code Sails are very versatile and flat enough to trim on and sail very high angles, yet with a high enough clew that the sheet will ease well and allow the luff to project when you are sailing at wider angles. From tight reaching to broad running angles, the Helix Furling Gennaker may replace both your Code Zero and your asymmetrical cruising spinnaker.
