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...

that I Farrier is focusing on the 8 sqm net, and not on on the mast and rig weight and their moment, neither on he waves effect

clarivoile

I fully agree

clarivoile

that's good now.

Large differences, a bit surprised by the 28 performances, as well as the excellent result for the first one

clarivoile

These are the actual results in real time: With: sail number/name /rating /real time GBR704M....ISCHNURA...............1.173......05:45:15 GBR601M....ORIGAMI.................1.139......06:00:14 001............ORION................... .1.416......04:52:31 GBR676M....TWISTER.................1.310........

Looks like a dragonfly

clarivoile

I found Rostan import, I'll call them today. They look very similar.

Thanks

clarivoile

anyone knowing where to find them for a 920 E?

Thank you

clarivoile

obviously!

clarivoile

looking at these pictures, I'd be curious to have comparison between all these boats performance wise.

Any clew?

clarivoile

these are two different boats. even the sails are different. On this picture we can even see the main sail sheet rail, on the top of the back cabin roof https://picasaweb.google.com/ctcnederland/RondjeIJsselmeer2011#5607016125077930162 I guess, this F32 is a very nice one which has been built by his...

clarivoile

I don't think she's a D28!

I bet it's an F32

clarivoile

These are the dimensions of my new sails: code 0: guindant 13.150 / chute 11.730/ bordure 6.200/ largeur mi hauteur 3.540/ lpg 5.800 44.40 m2 genaker: guindant 13.150 / chute 11.570/ bordure 8.000/ largeur mi hauteur 5.400/ lpg 7.860 65.50 m2 now, Ineed a full new set! Main and Genoa.....Looking for...

clarivoile

the code 0 is more full cut than genoa cut.....although my requirements were clear and thoroughly described

May be good for monohulls

Need to sale it, now!

clarivoile

with the code 0.
I should have followed Mats offer

clarivoile

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

clarivoile

do you know the weight of your D? not the one given by Quorning, the actual one.

clarivoile

i do agree. I'll just take the gennaker in addition as a spare for the sym spinnaker, and for ease when playing around for fun on my own in the area

clarivoile

I knew that that was the basic solution, but I was looking for something faster. Thanks any away for the heads up on that point. Stefan, I already contact them when you gave me their email, but they didn't look that interested. Not a problem, I've got lot of sails maker here. But it's nicer to discu...

clarivoile

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?

clarivoile

for explanation of full cut and genoa cut. That's exactly what I've asked for. I fully agree with your proposal. It will be like a light genoa made of CZ60 2.6o A trimaran racer told me that he could verify that the gennaker was giving better performance down wind than the asymmetric except light wi...

clarivoile

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...

clarivoile

perfect to me. Faster is a must

clarivoile

surprise surprise!

clarivoile

On a D 920 Extreme, with already asymmetric chute, what would you advise between a Genaker and a "code 0"

clarivoile

Sent again! I don't know where my previous one have gone.....

Thanks

clarivoile

I sent him a quotation request, I'll see. But I'm afraid the price would be very high, compare to here.

clarivoile

my question was rather concerning the boat. We all understand and know the cost of sailing.... With the "standard assymetric chute 90 sqm I guess, may be someone found what could be called the boat "limits", not the sails or the sailor's limits. Not really new to this, but new on the ...

clarivoile

What's the strongest true wind at which you keep the spi up?

clarivoile

I'm looking for all the measurement required to get new sails, genaker, code 0 for the 920 Extreme. Quorning sent me to Elvstrom who doesn't want to give anything if he doesn't make the sails....

Anybody has them?

Thank you

clarivoile

launching....Between 35 and 28, I do think there is a gap which a 32 could fill nicely

clarivoile

Just have to wait for the 32

clarivoile

morning eyes, much better!

clarivoile

to see any Dragonfly on this video

clarivoile

you must be right, but with the number of 920 built, this could have been a good idea, knowing that some constraints apply when not unsinkable in some europeans countries!

clarivoile

good evening all

Why the dragonfly are "predicate unsinkable" by Quorning but not certified as such?

clarivoile

All the best, Gonzo. Keep us informed.

clarivoile

keep us informed!

clarivoile

wich brand is it?

clarivoile

Who could help me for that choice?

clarivoile

do these boats have same spec as europeans one?
