LIGHT JIB All-Purpose: This is an extremely large sail that powers the boat from lightest of winds until approximately 12 knots true. The construction permits a powerful top section, yet it can be flattened enough to have an excellent crossover into medium breezes. Day Racing: FEATURES: |
All-Purpose: This all-purpose workhorse is ideal for speed in wind ranges from 9 to 18 knots. The design is powerful and still has enough twist to control the mainsail backwind as breezes approach 18 knots. The medium jib fits the spreader profile perfectly and its clew height is matched to the sailing rake in its wind range. Day Racing: FEATURES: |
All Purpose: This maximum-range headsail was designed to go right up to the #4 without excessive backwind and yet is powerful enough to carry down to 15 knots if needed. Day Racing: This maximum-range headsail was designed to

|

|
This downwind workhorse was designed to maximum sail area and allows you to sail in rough and flat water in winds from 12-19 knots. It usually carries a bit lower than other boats around and acceleration out of gybes is particularly fast. FEATURES: CODE 2S This tried and true
spinnaker is excellent in fleet racing and makes your tactics particularly
easy. |

| CODE 4A The Code 4 Asymmetric is built with less stretch, so it excels in winds over 19 knots when loads begin to escalate. The lower-stretch material will help you to sail ultra deep allowing you to chase the bigger waves. The size and design of the 4A is very similar to the 2A, however it's much stronger for big breezes. FEATURES: 4S-08
StepUp AirX 700/900 The Code 4 Spinnaker is built strong enough to withstand winds from 19-25 knots. The spinnaker is designed to simplify the gybes and improve your tactical gain. FEATURES: |
