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.

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.
