The ATN Spinnaker Sleeve is carefully designed to ensure it does not foul the spinnaker when setting or dousing the sail. The control lines run in their own pockets separate from the sail itself, and consequently cannot get tangled. The sock is made from a loosely woven "slippery" material for friction free usage. |
UPS (Utility Power Sail)
The Doyle Utility Power Sail (UPS) is the link between a headsail and a spinnaker, with a wider usable wind range than either. It's the first sail for cruisers who've done away with cumbersome, overlapping genoas but don't want to give up power in light air, or performance at any wind speed while reaching or running.
The UPS is lightweight. It sets and furls on its own luff rope and furler. It goes upwind and downwind. It flies like a spinnaker, but cannot collapse like a spinnaker, even when sailing as close as 33 degrees apparent. The effective wind range of a UPS is 33-180 degrees apparent. The UPS sets on its own flexible Vectran line so there's no need to remove your furling genoa, and it stores in its own bag when not in use. |

When sailing hard on the wind the jib and main work almost as one, and thus the combined elliptical profile determines the aerodynamic efficiency. When eased off, or reaching, the sails act more independently and the geometry of each is critical to performance. The sail designers at Doyle have developed shaping techniques that support critical roach area in headsails without the need for battens so you can enjoy the efficiency of an elliptical form and have a sail that can be easily furled! Thus, not only does the Doyle UPS provide more area for light air and for off the wind sailing it provides much greater efficiency! |
All Purpose Full Radial Spinnaker
The All Purpose Full Radial Spinnaker is designed to be used at 80 - 140 degrees AWA and up to 15 knots AWS. This sail is designed to be the work horse of any inventory and covers a large range. It has fuller girths and is designed to lift and fly away from the boat. The top 10% of the sail being flatter allows the spinnaker to set away from the rig before the body of the sail curves down. The result is a sail that flies out to windward, away from the disturbed air of the mainsail and rig, in clear air flow.
