More important for the cruising sailor, it can be set up for roller furling. It is intended for low wind speeds (typically 12 knots or less) and sailing angles between 80-125 degrees true.

The number of panels varies according to the size of your sail and the colours in your computer layout may may differ slightly from the "real life" spinnaker colours. A direct descendant of the Volvo/Whitbread Round the World racers but with a heavy dose of cruising reality, easily furled and can be left hoisted for. A cruising Code Zero looks like a genoa on steroids think of a 180 genoa and you start to get the picture. Simply select boat size, sail purpose and sail type and you are all set to colour your own symmetric or assymetric downwind sail! Once you are done and happy with the result save it by sending the layout by e-mail or request a quote.

Well, here's your chance!
Code Zero sails are most effective between 80. In downwind mode the sail can be used at angles from TWA 140-180° and in reaching mode in TWA 60-135°. Most sailmakers refer to odd numbered sails (A1, A3, A5) as reaching spinnakers and even numbered sails (A2, A4, A6) as downwind-orientated sails. The sail is a 3-in-1 solution, working not only as a twin furling downwind-runner, but also as an ultra-light genoa and a reacher.
The Blue Water Runner is a twin furling downwind sail, which is easy to furl away from the safety of the cockpit. Answer (1 of 4): the code zero and the gennaker are both large, lightweight asymmetric headsails set with the tack (the front bottom corner) fixed to the stem of the vessel, and controlled with a single sheet at the clew like a jib. Cruisers can now store, deploy and retrieve these sails as simply as they would a furling headsail from the safety and convenience of the cockpit.
