Question 1

What type of spinnaker is this?

Accepted Answer

This is a symmetrical spinnaker. Symmetrical spinnakers are characterized by being the same shape on either side of their vertical centerline. They are traditionally used for sailing deeper downwind, performing well on broad reaches and full runs.

Question 2

What are the dimensions of this spinnaker?

Accepted Answer

This spinnaker has a sail area of 90 m2, a foot length of 7.35 m, and a leech length of 15.0 m.

Question 3

What kind of vessel is this spinnaker suitable for?

Accepted Answer

This spinnaker was previously used on a 42-foot sloop vessel. For symmetrical spinnakers, the leech/luff length should ideally be approximately the same as the &#8216;I&#8217; measurement (height of the spinnaker halyard block above deck) of the boat, and no smaller than 95% of &#8216;I&#8217;. The spinnaker pole length is typically recommended to be the &#8216;J&#8217; measurement (length from the mast foot to the forestay attachment on deck). Generally, spinnakers are not as precise in fitting as flat sails, and standard sizes can accommodate a range of different boats.

Question 4

What is the condition of this spinnaker?

Accepted Answer

This is a used spinnaker. Resail focuses on giving high-quality, proven sails a second life, promoting sustainable sailing without compromising performance or trust.

Question 5

How do I determine if this spinnaker will fit my sailboat?

Accepted Answer

To assess suitability, you should measure your boat&#8217;s &#8216;I&#8217; and &#8216;J&#8217; dimensions. The &#8216;I&#8217; measurement is the height from the deck to the top of the mast where the spinnaker halyard attaches. The &#8216;J&#8217; measurement is the length from the front of the mast to the forestay attachment point on the deck. For a symmetrical spinnaker, the leech should be about 95-100% of your boat&#8217;s &#8216;I&#8217; dimension, and the foot should be approximately 180% of your &#8216;J&#8217; dimension. You can often find your boat&#8217;s standard dimensions in the owner&#8217;s manual or on resources like sailboatdata.com.

Question 6

What are the general care recommendations for a used spinnaker?

Accepted Answer

To extend the lifespan of your spinnaker, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after use to remove salt and prevent mildew. Ensure the sail is completely dry before folding and storing it in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew formation. Regularly inspect the sail for any small tears or damage and patch them promptly to prevent them from worsening. Minimizing sail flogging (flapping) also helps to preserve the sailcloth.
