A genoa is an overlapping headsail with an LP (luff perpendicular) greater than 100 %. It delivers maximum drive in light to moderate winds and is the default upwind sail on most cruising and racing boats. This page covers the four standard genoa configurations – #1 light-air, #2 medium, #3 heavy-weather and roller-reefing genoas – along with measurements, reefing systems, materials and Resail’s end-of-life upcycling.
