An exciting innovation from Rolly Tasker Sails is their new Code C, a universal reaching and running sail which is a mixture of a Code O and an Asymmetrical Spinnaker.
The unique Code C sail, developed by Rolly Tasker Sails, is their universal cruising sail for all courses lower than actually beating close-hauled upwind.
If you sail short-handed or are more of a cruiser than a racer then this is the sail you need!
Modern yachts tend to have short, non-overlapping or even self-tacking headsails. These are effective when sailing close-hauled upwind, however, when bearing off these small headsails become progressively less efficient requiring the sailor to then hoist an asymmetrical and then a symmetrical spinnaker. Well not anymore with Rolly Taskers launch of the Code C!
Code C - the perfect all-round sail for the cruising or short-handed sailor
The name Code C stands for Cruising because this sail is so easy to handle being set flying with its own endless line furler. Just hoist the rolled-up sail using your spinnaker halyard then unfurl when you are ready and off you go! The easy way to gybe this sail is to furl it, gybe the boat and unfurl on the new tack. In effect, this new sail is as easy to use as a genoa.
It is a full radial cut design in top-end US spinnaker nylon and is tacked to an endless line furler. It can be set in wind-angles from 65 through to 135 degrees and if using a long spinnaker pole, it can even be used up to 180 degrees, meaning a wide range from a close reach to running straight downwind.
The integrated, anti-torsion luff cable made from pre-stressed, large diameter Dyneema rope and the straight luff ensure that the sail is always furled evenly. In this way, the sail can be furled with less effort and less wear and tear, extending its lifespan considerably.
The new Code C sail is made from Premium US spinnaker nylon in different weights according to size in 14 different sizes from 32 to 150 square metres and you can find out all the details including pricing, on the www.rollytaskersailsaustralia.com.au/code-c. Or contact the team direct at
