We were meticulous about organizing and color-coding it all, I'm very glad we did. But there are a lot of lines in the cockpit, and more line clutches. And of course most of the headsail changes can be handled from in the cockpit.
#Code zero sail code
This sail is not an all-around gennaker or screecher as it is too flat to go fly any deeper than 90 degrees. 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. Our new code zero is a very flat sail designed to fly in as low as 3knots.
2.5 oz., its clew comes back to the cockpit, when we're close reaching. Material: CZ30 Radial Laminate 55 Mid Girth. It's also good off the wind, and we can pole it out. The Code 0 is flat enough that we can sheet it tight and use it on the wind. We also have a fixed staysail, so there are three furlers (Schaefer) and sails in front of the mast. This way, it's up there all the time, we don't have to store it. We had UV protection put on the Code O, and put it on a "real" foiled furler. It’s easy to trim and will hold its competitive shape over the life of the sail, while also saving on the weight. The Code Zero was originally designed to measure in as a spinnaker, with a minimum midgirth of 75 of foot length. So the working genoa was move aft, and the Code O went in the old forestay position. For a crossover sail between racing and cruising, the laminate code zero is a great option.
The head was also talked about putting forward on a mast crane extension, but we ended up adding one a bit down from the masthead. Supported from below in the chain locker with a tie to the stem. I wanted to put the tack on a short extension forward, and while it looked like this could work, for budget rea$on$ we ended up putting in a new connection point a bit back from the original forestay chainplate.
