2. Asymmetrical spinnaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_spinnaker

   Since there is no spinnaker pole, there is no longer need for a pole topping lift or a pole downhaul. Like a jib, the asymmetric has two sheets and no "guy". The asymmetric is simpler to gybe than a conventional spinnaker since it only requires releasing a sheet and pulling in the other one, passing the sail in front of the forestay. An ...

3. Spinnaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnaker

   Like the symmetric, the asymmetrical spinnaker is often stored in a turtle, with the corners on top for easy access. While a symmetric spinnaker is flown with a "guy" and a "sheet", an asymmetric spinnaker is flown with a tackline and a "sheet." The tack attaches to the bow or (often retractable) bowsprit, and the two sheets attach to the clew.

4. Screecher - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screecher

   Its similarity with a spinnaker is that it is not attached to a stay along its luff, and typically has a slightly larger curvature than a genoa. Luff shape and tension is maintained by the halyard and a bolt rope which is woven into the sail itself, and it is this stiff tensioned rope which allows the sail to be furled on itself.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_(sailing)

   Guy (red arrow), controlling the spinnaker pole. A guy (probably from Dutch gei, "brail") is a line attached to and intended to control the end of a spar on a sailboat. [1] On a modern sloop-rigged sailboat with a symmetric spinnaker, the spinnaker pole is the spar most commonly controlled by one or more guys.

9. Sheet (sailing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_(sailing)

   The jib sheet attaches to the clew of the jib, and controls it. The jib has a sheet on each side, only one of which (the leeward one) will be in use at one time. The spinnaker sheet attaches to the clew(s) of the spinnaker, if carried. A symmetrical spinnaker has two sheets, an "active" one and a "lazy" one, in the same way as a jib, but they ...
