This exciting top-down furling sail was designed to combine maximum downwind power with the ultimate ease in handling.
We got a Rolly Tasker Asymmetrical Furling Spinnaker made for our Catalina 320 a few weeks back. We are very impressed with the Sail and with the customer service we received. Good to see old fashion quality business is still alive. I know where we buy our next sail. Thank you guys heaps
Those of you who already use our Code C reaching sail will know from experience how easy a specialised downwind furling sail is to deploy and retrieve when also combined with the correct furling gear.
Our new Furling Asymmetrical Spinnaker has up to 15 percent more area than the Code C and its design allows you to sail lower angles downwind – the same as a traditional running Asymmetrical Spinnaker – as low as 165 degrees.
Set when furled, this sail is perfect for short-handed use and simply unfurls and re-furls at ease when required. No more spinnaker poles or spinnaker socks required.
To have an asymmetric spinnaker that can be set while furled and then simply unfurled from the cockpit is an innovation for this kind of sail. Up until now, this would have traditionally been set from a sailbag on the foredeck or with a “snuffer”.
To be able to sail deeper downwind with efficiency, the sail must be designed to be full in profile and to move the luff to the upwind side of the boat’s centreline, out from behind the mainsail. Such a sail would not be possible to furl on a traditional “bottom-up” furler. This works well on the Code C sail which has a straight luff similar to a Genoa, but the curved luff of the Asymmetrical Spinnaker cannot be furled in this way.
To overcome this problem, the sail is hoisted with an “artificial luff line”, known as a torsion or furling cable, which is a strong cable around which the sail is furled. More importantly, the cable transfers the furling impetus from the furler to the head of the sail, from where it is then effectively furled – from the top downwards – resulting in a controlled and safe furling manoeuvre.
