Asymmetric spinnaker A series

for cruising sailboats

Sometimes referred to as "code zeros" or "code sails," the category of reaching sails gets confusing quickly as the term can apply to a broad range of sails. To simplify and clear up any confusion, Quantum developed its line of reaching sails around the target Apparent Wind Angles (AWA). After all, this is how we actually sail! Our three sail options are defined by possible apparent wind angle and overall optimum range. Each reaching sail line is available with a traditional torsional cable or as an XC cableless sail with a structured luff. The Pure Running Machine. The A2 is the ticket when you want to maximize the deepest angles your boat can sail. Maximum size, maximum projected area, maximum stability. The Versatile Powerhouse. The A3 covers the widest range and is closely related to the AWA 80, but is a preferred option when the deeper range of angles dominate and you need something easier to handle. The Heavy Air Companion. A smaller, specialty heavy-air running sail for more rigorous offshore adventures, the A5 is the card to play when you have places to go downwind and Mother Nature turns up the breeze.
