A5 - Asymmetric Spinnaker

The Heavy-Air Reacher

When the breeze is up and the spray is flying, the A5 Asymmetric Spinnaker is the sail you reach for. Built for the top of the wind range, the A5 picks up exactly where the A3 leaves off — delivering controlled, confident reaching power in conditions where a lighter, fuller sail would simply overwhelm the boat.

The Workhorse for Heavy-Weather Reaching

The A5 carries the flattest, most heavily reinforced profile in the reaching family. Where the A3 manages moderate-to-heavy air, the A5 is purpose-built for strong breeze, keeping the boat fast, balanced, and on its feet when the loads are at their highest.

• Maximum Load Capacity: Heavy-duty cloth and reinforced corners and luff let the A5 absorb the punishing loads of strong-wind reaching without distorting or breaking down.
• Flat, Depowered Shape: A deliberately flat profile and reduced mid-girth shed excess power, cutting heel and drag so the boat keeps driving forward instead of being pushed sideways.
• Stay-on-Your-Feet Control: Engineered to resist the round-ups and broaches that plague fuller sails in a blow, the A5 keeps the helm light and the boat tracking true through gusts and big seas.
• Top-End Range: The natural choice for windy offshore legs, heavy-air races, and demanding deliveries — safely extending your asymmetric inventory into conditions where most spinnakers come down.
