![]() ![]() The owner of ‘G2’ is always very keen on sailing the boat and so the sail handling was a priority for the crew, - with the new technology they are not only able to use the sail in a much wider range of wind angles and speeds, but the sail furls reliably and is much easier to handle on deck. Indeed, there has been a significant load reduction.īut the benefits for the owner and crew of ‘G2’ go further with a big increase in the range of conditions that the sail can be used. Built by Vitters in 2009 and re-fitted by Pendennis in 2018, her sail carries greater luff projection, making the sail more powerful and efficient without increasing any loads. Of the many examples of yachts that have already benefited from Cableless sails is the 39m Tripp designed ‘G2’ pictured above. And when the code zero does come down, itʼs a lot easier to handle on deck and stow than a heavier sail with a luff cable. One big advantage of Doyleʼs Cableless technology is that it allows code sails to be built much lighter, which means that yachts can keep them hoisted and furled while sailing upwind, ready for instant deployment, rather than having to drop and stow them. Furling reliability - either top down or bottom up. Higher performance, more luff projection and driving force. Easier to handle and store, with less crew required. ![]() Less load on attachments (sometimes with up to 50% less load). Less overall sail weight with the removal of a conventional cable. This sail is the ultimate solution to add to your downwind inventory. The ability to have significantly less headstay sag with less load has changed the laws of physics as we knew them in the world of sailmaking, with Cableless Technology applicable to almost every yacht.Ĭableless Cruising Code Sails are very versatile and flat enough to trim on and sail very high angles, yet with a high enough clew that the sheet will ease well and allow the luff to project when you are sailing at wider angles. Cruising Code Sails are even more powerful and efficient if you choose to utilise the Cableless technology, exclusive to Doyle Sails and undisputedly the market leader.
