Wings spreads some canvas

Recut sail working well

The old #1 genoa recut into a high clewed #2 works well in light air. Because it has less overlap and the foot is well above the lifelines this sail is much easier to handle, tacks quietly, and in many ways acts like the small #4 which we love; only it is bigger. Spreading this much canvas on a light air day really helps the performance.
