Sail

- Code Zero closes the gap between genoa and gennaker, increases propulsion in light winds and is particularly useful for cruising yachts with a self-tacking jib.  
- The sail requires its own forestay with furler, suitable sheeting, high halyard pull and a well thought-out stowage and setting solution on board.  
- The cut, profile and material determine the range of use, from lazy genoa to space winch; correct halyard tension, sheet and barber haul trim are crucial.

Code Zero: More speed with little wind and a small jib

- IFS Multi Tradewind is a double furling sail consisting of two superimposed gennakers that form a stable, symmetrical downwind sail.  
- It is very stable thanks to its central fixing and M-shaped profile, requires hardly any trim and is particularly suitable for long downwind passages.  
- Thanks to the IFS without anti-torsion cable, simple recovery and nylon material, it is particularly interesting for cruising, family and short-handed crews.

OneSails: Two gennakers are more stable than one spinnaker

- Correct mainsail trim with sheet, backstay, traveller, cunningham, downhaul and outhaul reduces heeling and rudder pressure.  
- The mainsheet and downhaul control the leech depending on the course and wind, while the backstay, halyard and cunningham shift the belly and change the profile.  
- Traveller and downhaul settings optimise the angle of attack and profile depth; check all trimming devices for function before the start of the season.

Sail trim: Adjusting the mainsail correctly - it's so easy

- Xylo is a new composite sail technology with Technora filaments, available as Xylo Core (regatta) and Xylo Force (long-distance sailing).
- Technora offers high tensile and fatigue strength, low stretch and moisture absorption as well as chemical and thermal resistance.
- Xylo Force focuses on taffeta protection and durability for cruisers, Xylo Core on low weight for regattas; both are considered the most dimensionally stable Elvström line.
