The offshore sail package allows for several sails to be left on the dock, saving weight and valuable space on the boat. The Custom #1 includes a second clew to configure the sail as a Jib-Top, along with a handy zipper along the foot for a tidy and easily manageable reef. Similarly, the #3 can be reefed down to a #4, or configured as a Blast-Reacher for when the winds pick up without having to do a sail change.
The sail plan has been optimized for the entire wind range, including critical reaching crossovers to keep the boat fully powered. The A5/2.5 inspire new levels of confidence and manageability for the short-handed crew, while delivering performance and speed.
