ASYMMETRIC SPINNAKER

A growing number of todays racing and cruising sailors are looking for more than reliability in their spinnakers.

Performance through superior design, a radial panel configuration which precisely aligns panels to the loadings and manufacturing technology that has been developed over 30 years in the sailmaking business.

Combined with the finest quality Nylon Spinnaker Fabrics that have been developed in conjunction with our cloth manufacturer in the U.S.A. and you have a sail that is FAST, DURABLE, and SUPERIOR VALUE for MONEY...

FEATURES:

New: 150% more shaped panels than a traditional spinnaker.

New: Reduced seam slippage.

New: Greater vertical fairness.

New: Precise thread alignment.

New: Shape stability second to none.

New: Light weight patches. With the development of new spinnaker fabrics we can now make our patches lighter, which enables the clews to fly much better in the light winds making the spinnaker a faster alround sail.

New: O rings for the clews and head rings. These again are making for lighter corners and a faster sail.

DESIGN + MANUFACTURE:

3D Sailmaker design system and the Relax stress analysis program are the premier programs of their type in use today.

These programs are used in all new designs from dinghies to mega yachts to the smallest trysail and the largest spinnakers, all sails are designed and tested to bring out their optimum performance in all conditions.

All Lidgard lofts have invested a lot of time and money on precision plotters / cutters, in doing so we are able to cut and plot our designs to the nearest .05mm, creating the accuracy that is needed when manufacturing high performance racing and cruising sails.
