Question 1

What type of spinnaker is this?

Accepted Answer

This is a symmetrical spinnaker. Symmetrical spinnakers are designed with an identical shape on either side of a vertical centerline. They are typically used for sailing deeper downwind, on broad reaches and runs, and require a spinnaker pole for proper stabilization and trimming.

Question 2

What are the key dimensions of this spinnaker?

Accepted Answer

This spinnaker has a sail area of 47 square meters. Its foot measures 5.5 meters, and its leech is 10.3 meters.

Question 3

What does the "0.7 OZ" material specification indicate?

Accepted Answer

The &#8220;0.7 OZ&#8221; refers to the weight of the spinnaker cloth, measured in ounces per square yard. A weight of 0.7 OZ (or 0.75 OZ) typically indicates a lightweight nylon fabric, which is best suited for light air conditions, allowing the sail to fly effectively in minimal wind.

Question 4

What condition is this used spinnaker in?

Accepted Answer

As a used sail from Resail, this spinnaker is offered in a &#8220;ready to use&#8221; condition. Resail focuses on providing high-quality used sails that are suitable for continued performance. While some wear is expected with any used sail, items are inspected to ensure they do not have significant tears or delamination, aligning with our commitment to giving sails a second life.

Question 5

Who is the producer, SULA RACING SAILMAKER?

Accepted Answer

This spinnaker was produced by SULA RACING SAILMAKER. Specific public information about this particular sailmaker is not extensively available through general search resources.

Question 6

How can I determine if this spinnaker is suitable for my boat?

Accepted Answer

To assess suitability, compare the spinnaker&#8217;s dimensions (47 m² area, 5.5 m foot, 10.3 m leech) with your boat&#8217;s specifications. For symmetrical spinnakers, the leech/luff length should ideally be similar to your boat&#8217;s &#8216;I&#8217; measurement (mast height from deck to halyard exit), and no less than 95% of &#8216;I&#8217;. The recommended spinnaker pole length is typically related to your boat&#8217;s &#8216;J&#8217; measurement (distance from mast to forestay). Consult your boat&#8217;s owner&#8217;s manual or resources like sailboatdata.com for these dimensions.

Question 7

What is the recommended care and maintenance for a used spinnaker?

Accepted Answer

Proper care extends the life of any spinnaker. For a used spinnaker, it is recommended to:

Inspect Regularly: Check for any new signs of wear, small tears, fraying seams, or UV damage after each use.
Clean Gently: Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and clean any dirt or salt residue.
Dry Thoroughly: Always ensure the spinnaker is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.
Store Properly: Store the sail in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a sail bag.
Avoid Flogging: Minimize instances of the sail flogging vigorously in the wind, as this can cause significant stress and wear.
