Hhhmm, you made that look too easy 😃, well done, I'm an old gaffer sailor, just added a Reliance 44 , Bermudian cutter to my flotilla,,, it's got what looks like a football pitch sized Spinnaker, I'm scared, I have zero experience in handling a spi, hopefully I'll run into someone here on the Atlantic coast of Portugal who really knows how to use it and is will to show me. Anyone know more or less what windspeed he's sailing in on the video?

kudos for covering asymmetric and symmetric in the same video: I think that's there first time I've seen that.

It'd be nice to revisit this video with longer shots on exactly what he's talking about. The cuts to and from the spinnaker are far too brief.

You can pause the video by clicking the play button, or on a computer, pressing the space bar. And arrow keys go forward and backward in the video.

Front or luff?

@LoanwordEggcorn Жыл бұрын

There are two luffs on a symmetrical spinnaker, but when one is at the front (i.e., towards the wind) it's considered the luff and when it's at the back it's considered the leech. An asymmetrical spinnaker is like a jib or genoa, with a fixed tack and luff at the front and a clew and leech at the back.
