Question 6

What are the performance benefits of a Code Permanent Hoist sail?

Accepted Answer

The Elvstrom Code Permanent Hoist is designed for optimal performance in light to moderate winds, particularly on reaching courses (approximately 55-120° True Wind Angle and 5-13 knots true wind speed). It provides significant power and speed where a genoa might be inefficient and an asymmetric spinnaker cannot yet fill properly. Its design allows for easy furling and deployment, making it a practical choice for cruising sailors looking to reduce engine hours.
