2. Asymmetrical spinnaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_spinnaker

   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 ...

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.

5. 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 ...

6. Wayfarer (dinghy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayfarer_(dinghy)

   The sail plan consists of a Bermuda rig with a main, jib, and symmetrical spinnaker. The boat uses a retractable centreboard. An optional asymmetric spinnaker and spinnaker chute is available; also available is a "sail patch" which provides flotation for the mast in the event of a capsize (and particularly to prevent mast inversion – Turtling ...
