![]() ![]() In low winds it can replace the light genoa without problems, allowing tightening up to 40 degrees of apparent. In light winds it is possible to use the Code 0 up to very tight angles, while in sustained winds (between 18 and 24 knots) one can lean very safely, widening the bow angle even beyond 16o degrees thus covering all gaits, from wide upwind to wide slack. It is also easy to carry, even for inexperienced owners who are often intimidated about using headsails at the carriers, because they often cause breakage and problems on board (in this case we are referring especially to spinnakers). But if you don’t use it for a week, the advice is to haul it down and store it in its bag, because the UV protection is usually very light and the sail would be in danger of being ruined. Thanks to the UV protection you can then be left on deck even for an entire weekend. The basic unit includes Karver s swivel and furling drum your sailmaker will build your Code 0 with an ultrastrong synthetic luff cord that attaches directly to this hardware. This feature then allows the Cod 0 to be very slackened and fattened depending on the angle at which you wish to sail, thus allowing you to avoid frequent sail changes, always unpleasant when cruising.Īnother strength of the Code o, which simplifies life in small crew, is the simplicity with which it is rigged on the furler, a simple maneuver that does not require the participation of many crew members. Code-0 Furler Karver first made heads spin in 2004 with its K-Blocks now it s spinning sails and saving weight aloft with the new line of K.F. The Code 0 is an asymmetrical headsail, in most cases equipped with a top-down furling system, and which gives the sailmaker a lot of freedom in design because it has a mid right that can vary from 55 to 75 percent of the sail base length. ![]() Again, as was the case with the gennaker, the evolution moves from the world of racing to the world of cruising. Let us see what are the features of navigation with Code 0. Aside from the mass phenomenon, these trends also carry significant benefits for boaters, especially from an easy-sailing perspective. It is known that sailors are also a bit of a fashionista, and while in recent years the cruising world has been invaded by gennakers of all types, which are easier to handle even in reduced crew than spinnakers, now the time has come for Code 0s. ![]()
