Sailing With A Gennaker

A gennaker is used when sailing downwind as it's a cross between a genoa and a spinnaker (big colored sails). A gennaker is not symmetric like a spinnaker but is asymmetric like a genoa, but the gennaker is not attached to the forestay like a jib or genoa. The gennaker is rigged like a spinnaker but the tack is fastened to the hull.
In this video, I demonstrate how we raise, fly, and lower the gennaker on our 56' Oyster sailboat.
The video footage was created while saying from Turks & Caicos to Fort Lauderdale Florida off the coast of Cuba in the Atlantic Ocean.
