	Genoa (sail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A genoa (pronounced like the city, or as jenny) is a type of large jib-sail used on bermuda rigged craft, commonly the single-masted sloop and twin-masted yawl, less frequently on a ketch.
		Genoas are categorized by the percentage of overlap.
		The gennaker is a fairly new type of sail, and is a hybrid between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker.

		A genoa is larger, with the (Carnivorous or bloodsucking aquatic or terrestrial worms typically having a sucker at each end) leech going past the mast and overlapping the mainsail.
		In boats where sail restrictions are not applicable, genoas of 200% overlap can be found, although those over 150% are not often seen, since the addtional area is shadowed by the mainsail and generates diminishing returns in terms of power per actual sail area.
		The (additional info and facts about gennaker) gennaker is a fairly new type of sail, and is a hybrid between a genoa and an asymmetrical (Large and usually triangular headsail; carried by a yacht as a headsail when running before the wind) spinnaker.

	Jib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A jib is a triangular sail set ahead of the foremost mast of a sailing boat.
		On cruising yachts, it is common for the innermost jib to be self-tacking, either by using a boom along the foot of the sail or by cleating the sheet to a track.
		All other jibs need to be worked when tacking, that is, as the yacht comes head to wind the sheet attached to the tack of the sail is released, and then pulled in again on the other side of the yacht.

	Rigging Small Sailboats - Chapter 2
		Sails can be considered the "engine" or power plant of the sailboat, while the rigging can be considered the "transmission," or the means by which the power is transferred to the boat to create motion.
		The HEAD of the sail is the topmost corner; the TACK is the forwardmost corner, and the CLEW is the aft corner of the sail.
		The jib and Genoa are attached to the forestay in sloop rigs with HANKS or snaps (Figs.

	Banks Sails : Banks > Expert tips
		The genoa halyard should be set so the draft of the sail is between 40-45% aft of the luff.
		Sailing in point mode is one of the most difficult to sail in since the groove is very narrow.
		The genoa should be trimmed with the halyard tight, the lead moved aft and the sheet on hard.

	Genoa Sail Trimming
		The genoa is an important sail because it provides a large portion of the driving force of a yacht.
		It sails in the continual lift that is caused by the mainsail's continuous airflow.
		The genoa trimmer's primary responsibility is to maintain optimal sail shape as wind velocity and other conditions change.

	sailgenoa
		The Genoa is a large forward sail and provides a significant increase in sail area.
		A hanked-on genoa may be the sail of choice when the winds are light but may need to be changed to a jib when the wind increases.
		In areas of consistently light wind the genoa may be the sail of choice.

	Sail Care
		Keep sails out of sun when not in use by using sail bags and mainsail cover If you are a cruiser using a roller furling genoa, a leech cover is recommended for the genoa.
		Sails should be folded rather than stuffed to avoid unnecessary creasing which breaks down the material.
		North Sails is a network of over 100 lofts in 28 countries around the world.

		As the sail ages, or when it is used in high winds, bias stretch is reduced, and the sail holds its design sail shape longer.
		The finished sail is about half the weight of the lightest Kevlar sail, and more than twice as strong.
		Mainsails include: shelf foot, sail numbers, draft stripes, class insignia, vision window, cunningham, leechline, foam /epoxy tapered battens with the top two battens full length and the bottom two long for increased durability, floating tack and a tube bag.

		The Sail is from "Hild Sails" which is a local loft for me. I grabbed John from Hild at the Annapolis show last fall and had him measure up the boat and give me his recommendation for the installation.
		The cruising spinnaker is primarily a downwind sail.
		By then, the old sails were distorted enough and spilling enough wind that the extra buoyancy from the reverse shear touching the water was sufficient to prevent her from heeling any further.

	Satisfaction
		Regrettably, the mast track was sticky on lowering the sail, and the Stack Pack would not capture the dropped sail without a lot of spillage over the sides.
		I was surprised that the new sails were only twice as much in many instances as the used sails.
		He managed to pull about ten feet of rolled-up sail and luff rod out of the mast slot...The sail had to be cut away from the rod with a razor knife before the system could be repaired--we were the entertainment on the dock that day.

	Sports
		Practice lowering the genoa as the spinnaker is being raised.
		Raise the genoa behind the mainsail, and have a crew member hold the spinnaker guy to weather until you get a few boat lengths from the mark, then release the sheet and halyard while you pull the spinnaker down on the windward side of the boat.
		With an overlapping genoa, the sail should hit the spreader tip and the shroud base at about the same time.
