Doyle Symmetric Racing Spinnakers

Doyle Symmetrical Racing SpinnakersDoyle Symmetrical Racing Spinnakers

With all of the recent development of asymmetrical spinnakers lately it's easy to forget Doyle's conventional symmetrical spinnakers. Building on past development with geodesic fairing, recent development have been accelerated by enhanced CAD software and analysis tools, resulting in even faster spinnakers. Doyle Sailmakers offers 6 unique spinnaker molds: VMG, AP/Reacher, AP, AP/Runner, Runner (designed for windward leeward courses) & Reacher (designed for reaching legs). All-radial spinnaker with luff length over 55’ will have two center sections.  Sails with luff lengths under 55’ will have one center section.  Boats with fore triangle aspect ratios greater than 3.3 require two center sections as well.

VMG S1

This sail is designed to for tacking downwind in light air. The sail is designed with narrower girths in the upper portion and a leech profile that is symmetrical and flies closer to the rig.

  • 0 - 7 AWS

AP S2

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.

AP / Reacher S3

AP skewed toward reaching

  • 55 - 105 AWA
  • 3 - 20 AWS

AP Runner S4

This sail is designed to get the boat downwind. It has the fullest girths a sail can fly with. The cross sectional shape of the sail is more elliptical, which increases the projected sail area while maintaining the spinnakers stability.
