The Berckemeyer 45 shown above has this type of Code Zero. Even though this sail is smaller than a Code Zero on a race boat, it is more than twice the size of the non-overlapping jib and gives much more power for close reaching. With a straight luff, the sail rolls up very well. This sail is closer in shape to a traditional drifter than a spinnaker. It has a nearly straight luff, a mid girth about 60-65% of the sail's foot length. The sail is very flat and is designed for close reaching. The Code Zero for these boats can be used as soon as the boat bears off from a beat. Many modern cruising boats come with large mainsails and non-overlapping jibs because that sail-plan is easier for couples to handle. UK Sailmakers offers two different Cruising Code sails depending on whether your boat has an overlapping genoa or a non-overlapping genoa. When not constrained by rating rules, cruising sailors have a lot more options on the size and shape of a "code" sail. It is great sail that can compensate Genoa, but not Gennaker. The Code Zero got around the rule by measuring in as a very narrow-flat spinnaker with shape similar to a reaching geona. Usually it is made to hold even a bit stronger conditions.
Code Zero was initially an attempt to circumvent a rating rule by making a large genoa for close reaching on boats that were measured with non-overlapping genoas. Code Zero was initially an attempt to circumvent a rating rule by making a large genoa for close reaching on boats that were measured with non-overlapping genaos. The Code Zero is a cross between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker that is used for sailing close to the wind in light air.

Narrow line drive fitting leads the line into the driver and ensures good grip.Tried and tested line driver with metal teeth provides ample grip on the furling line.Impact resistant composite cover keeps the line captive and prevents damage to the boat during handling.The most rigid cable on the market, three times more rigid than the second best ensures easy furling (not included).Rubber fender prevents damage to the mast.A dedicated 2:1 purchase halyard is recommended to obtain the required luff tension and to reduce the load on the halyard sheave. The drum and the furling line can be permanently mounted to the bow and along the stanchions.Īdd a CX-GX Adapter for an all in one solution, one furling drum for both your Code Zero and Asymmetric Spinnaker / Gennaker.Īll structural parts are made of high strength duplex stainless steel, which has 50% greater breaking load than 316 stainless steel.Ĭomposite parts are glass-fibre/PA for strength and low weight. T he AT-cable (not included) is integrated in the luff of the sail with thimbles at each end using Seldén cable clamps. The thimbles are easily attached to the drum and halyard swivel with a spring loaded captive snap lock clevis pin, allowing different sails to be used with a single furling system, or stowed below decks without removing the drum and continuous line from the stanchions. It consists of a line driver drum and a top halyard swivel. The Selden CX furler makes sail handling easy, quickly add power to the boat and keep sailing in light wind conditions. The Seldén CX is a furling system for code zero sails.ĭesigned for quick setup and easy deployment, an essential feature for sails that are not used permanently.
