A new look at asymmetrical spinnakers
Article Abstract:
The performance of asymmetrical sails has improved dramatically as wind-tunnel testing has helped designers optimize the shape and angles. The 3 types of asymmetrical sails are reaching, running, and all-purpose. A running configuration projects the largest amount of sail area, and the reaching configuration allows the sail to project to leeward. An all-purpose has a leech and luff length somewhere between running and reaching.
