Since an asymmetric spinnaker is positioned to leeward and behind the mainsail, and since it has a flatter shape than a conventional spinnaker, an asymmetrical may not sail as deeply downwind. [1] This is demonstrated by a Polar diagram (sailing) showing the theoretical predicted boat speeds and carrying angles of a symmetrical vs. an ...
MG14 is a two-person skiff with a high-performance development hull, single trapeze and asymmetrical spinnaker. It was originally developed in 1963 at Manly Sailing Club in Sydney as the Manly Graduate 14ft to be used as a stepping stone between the smaller Manly Junior and larger boats such as the 16ft Skiff. During its early history it had a ...
J/80 flying its asymmetrical spinnaker. The J/80 is a racing keelboat, with the hull built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with a retractable bowsprit controlled from the cockpit by a deployment line. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept fin keel ...
Spinnaker area: 29.2 m 2 (314 sq ft) ... The mast is set far back in the boat to make room for the large asymmetric spinnaker. [3] [4] ... Code of Conduct;
It was the first production boat featuring a retractable bowsprit, which allows for an unusually large asymmetrical spinnaker. [2] It was introduced in 1991 by J/Boats and designed by Rod Johnstone. [3] J/105s are a common sight in one design racing [4] and to date, J/Boats has built 685 J/105s. [5]
It was built using the same molds as the F-27. It has a length overall of 28.52 ft (8.7 m), a waterline length of 26.25 ft (8.0 m), displaces 2,690 lb (1,220 kg). It has an asymmetrical spinnaker of 780 sq ft (72 m 2) and a screacher of 358 sq ft (33.3 m 2). [1] [5] Corsair 28R and RS

The following codes are used for both symmetric [12] and asymmetric [13] sails. Code 1 is a light air reaching sail, where the apparent wind angles at low speeds has a significant effect to create angles of less than 90 degrees. Code 2 is a medium air running sail, used for apparent wind angles over 90 degrees.
