I have a code 0 in addition to the spinnaker and the genaker. I use the same furling system for the genak and the Code 0. I really think this code 0 is of a very little use. Depend of wind conditions in your area. It's the sail used from 0'50" till 3'35" in the following: http://www.youtub...

Here they are

as expected, the genak doesn't give much more than the assy.

But I've found difficulty to roll this genaker. The bottom rolls while the top don't till the very last end, resulting in the top unrolling on its own as soon as going upwind :(

but I don't really understand. If you mount it directly on the sprit with a shackle, how do you change he sails? You need to reach the sprit end each time, don't you?

for explanation of full cut and genoa cut. That's exactly what I've asked for. I fully agree with your proposal.

I think you're perfectly right. But what do you call full cut compare to "genoa cut"? I've ordered both genaker and code 0, but still no measurements done yet. The code 0 fabric will be CZ60 2,6 oz. i ordered the genak as well as I have been told that it was more efficient than the assymet...
