More recently, the Italian shipyard Riva launched the innovative Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super. This boat from the sports flybridge line has become even more perfect. There are many reasons to fall in love with the new Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super, the successor to the model of the same name that exceeded expectations in terms of design, aesthetics and ergonomics.
“Only Riva can make something even more legendary, because the shipyard is well aware of the brand’s traditions, its aesthetic and technological know-how,” commented Alberto Galassi, CEO of the Ferretti Group.
The new Riva, 23.25 meters long and 5.75 meters wide, is the result of a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design and the Ferretti Group. Glazing of the hull and superstructure of more than 40 m2 adorn the yacht’s streamlined profile and further emphasize the sporty focus. Mahogany and polished stainless steel details that serve both technical and design functions pay homage to the original Riva tradition.
In the cockpit, designed for maximum comfort, the dining area can easily be converted into a spacious sunbathing area if required by lowering the table and covering it with cushions.
Sundeck is ideally integrated into the overall aerodynamic styling, and also disposes to rest both in complete privacy and as a whole company, having a spacious sunbathing area. The helm station is also located here, and the main bridge is unobtrusively inscribed among the elegant interior ambience.
In a standard layout, the lower deck of the Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super can accommodate 6 guests in three cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms. A completely separate kitchen layout has also been implemented on board for the first time. A small saloon is also offered in the classic version, but the owner can choose a fourth additional cabin instead. All guest spaces provide excellent soundproofing, and in the master suites it is even more enhanced. The sophisticated combination of sand-colored oak and lacquered in light and dark colors is the highlight of the interiors. Alternatively, the owner can also opt for rosewood.
The Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super will be powered by two 1500 hp MAN engines, developing 32 knots maximum speed or 28 knots comfort cruising speed. The optional motorization offers two 1800 hp MANs, propelling the boat to a maximum of 37 knots or 32 knots at cruising speed. The yacht can also be equipped with Humpfree spoilers, AVENTICS joystick and Seakeeper NG18 gyro stabilizer.
The official premiere of the Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super will take place at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021.
The new fully customized M/Y 142 project features refined sporty lines and superbly crafted open decks that provide an incredible sense of open-air freedom. Like other CRN superyachts, the 52-meter vessel will be built in Ancona and embody the best Italian traditions that perfectly highlight the vision and taste of the future owner.
Its length is 52 meters, width is 9 meters and the gross tonnage is 499 GRT, and the hull and superstructure are made of aluminum. Four decks will comfortably accommodate 10 guests, including the owner’s master suite on the main deck and four VIP cabins on the lower deck.
The exterior of the M/Y 142 was designed by Omega Architects in conjunction with architects Massari Design, who were involved in the design of the yacht’s interiors. The result is a superyacht with neat yet striking exterior lines, an almost vertical bow and a sporty, dynamic character. Panoramic tinted glazing on the main and upper decks complements the elegant exterior architecture, allowing guests to enjoy breathtaking panoramas. Even the wheelhouse windows are uniquely integrated into the overall styling, creating a seamless line of glazing.
The main deck is framed by designer Frank Laupman’s signature arches, creating a striking profile view and unique aft shapes. Large and luxurious outdoor spaces are the hallmark of this vessel.
The interior is characterized by simplicity and clarity of forms. It reflects the fashionable concept of modern life – sophistication and at the same time a sense of free space.
CRN is currently building 3 more custom yachts: the 62m CRN M/Y 138, the 72m CRN M/Y 139 and the 60m CRN M/Y 141.
Two fantastic premieres, an exclusive event and great boats.
The Ferretti Group plans to exhibit 11 yachts in the spotlight at the 2021 Venice Boat Show, which runs from May 29 to June 6. Venice has prepared a sumptuous stage for two impressive premieres: the Ferretti Yachts 1000, the largest yacht ever built by the shipyard, and the 43wallytender X, the outboard version of the tender.
Ferretti Yachts 1000 – world premiere
Ferretti Yachts 1000 is a 30-meter fiberglass flagship of the shipyard, which is built using the latest technological developments. It is the result of a collaboration between the Ferretti Group’s engineering department, Filippo Salvetti, in charge of the exterior, and Ideaeitalia, the interior designer. Ferretti Yachts 1000 takes a completely new approach to life on board with unique design solutions, but at the same time classic interior style with soft, balanced color tones and light contrasts. Increased glass area that allows natural light to flood all the interior spaces, and the unusual feed introduces a completely new format for the beach club.
43wallytender x – european premiere
43wallytender X is an outboard version that is a fast, durable and practical 13m boat. Here form and function are in perfect balance. An innovative cockpit design in the center of the boat ensures practicality and accessibility. On board, you can fully enjoy the fresh air outdoors with the utmost in comfort and safety.
“Venice has a big place in our heart as it is a key strategic location for what I call the Eastern Mediterranean. For the Ferretti Group, 2021 is a record year and this boat show will be another important foothold for the Italian yachting industry, ”commented Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.
Along with these two great new products will be Ferretti Yachts FY500 and FY670, Riva Rivamare, Dolceriva and 90 ‘Argo, Pershing 8X and 9X, as well as the Itama 62S and the FSD N802 patrol boat.
The Italian shipyard Riva showed renderings of the new 20 meters long model in the Open class. According to the company, the 68 ‘Diable is destined to become the diamond in the line of open yachts up to 70 feet, replacing the similarly sized Ego Super. This project, like the other Rivas, was designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, in collaboration with the engineering department of the Ferretti Group.
Elegance, dynamism and comfort are the basis of the project. It embraces technological and design innovations imbued with a love for tradition and detail that are the hallmark of the brand today. The story of each new Riva yacht is a journey back to the origins of yachting and an incomparable heritage. Each model is a technical experience and evolution that nevertheless respects the tradition and the legendary style of the brand.
Exterior
As always, the shipyard pays special attention to ergonomics on board, so the Riva 68 ‘Diable will be no exception. The new shape of the hardtop has clean lines. In addition, it is designed in such a way as to not only protect the center of the yacht, including the dining area and helm station on the main deck, but also to hide all technical components. A sunroof with a two-way opening mechanism adds extra pleasure while walking.
In the cockpit, you can find two sunbeds at once: a chaise longue by the water and a mattress, which is shaded along with the dining area using an automatic awning built into the hardtop. The bow of the boat also promises to be innovative in terms of space arrangement.
Interior
The lower deck has a classic layout, but it also turned out to be very comfortable. The master cabin is located in the wide part of the deck, on the port side there is a suite with two single beds and a VIP cabin in the bow. Each cabin has its own bathroom, and they revolve around a common versatile space with a kitchen and a small lounge.
With two MAN V12s of 1550 hp each maximum speed will be 37 knots and cruising speed will be 33. With an optional more powerful pair of 1650 hp engines. the yacht will accelerate to 40 and 34 knots. The Riva 68 ‘Diable is slated to launch in the summer of 2021.
The successful X range has been expanded with another model. The Pershing 6X is 18.94 meters long and 4.80 meters wide. Despite its modest size, the boat has successfully combined all the advanced technologies of the brand.
The Pershing 6X has the same sleek and fast lines as other Generation X models, unmistakably seen Italian shipyard features: aerodynamic profile, smoothed superstructure and large glass areas. Major innovations that the Ferretti Group and Fulvio de Simoni have worked on include both the overall aesthetics of the yacht and improvements in functionality and comfort on board. For example, the shipyard has enlarged the already rather large rectangular windows, updated the aft solarium configuration, improved the carbon and teak dining table in the cockpit, and added an interesting reclining chaise longue in the bow of the boat.
The first Pershing 6X hull will have a three-cabin layout: a master suite in the center of the deck, a VIP in the bow and a guest suite on starboard. All are designed with a private bathroom with shower and amenities. The guest bathroom, which can be accessed both from the cabin and from the hall, will function as a daytime toilet. Also on the lower deck, a kitchen area will be equipped, which is filled with light through a skylight. The optional two-cabin layout includes a master suite and a spacious VIP area, which is adjoined by a living room. The 6X interiors will feature lacquered wood, Mastrotto and Poltrona Frau leather, and mirrored panels.
In terms of technical features, the Pershing 6X keeps up with the standards of the X-line: with a pair of MAN V12 engines rated at 1,550 hp each. The maximum speed will be 48 knots and the comfortable cruising speed will be 42 knots. The carbon-trimmed helm station will receive two 19-inch monitors, and the steering will be supplemented with electro-hydraulic steering. An innovative joystick can also be retrofitted to provide a range of advanced navigation modes, including easier maneuvering in ports and confined waters. And the opening hatch in the bow of the cabin will take the sea voyage to a whole new level.
Last week the attention of the sailing world was focused on the Italian Riviera, where the Regate di Primavera – Splendido Mare Cup 2021 took place. The event took place in the Gulf of Tigullio from 5 to 9 May. It brought together the world’s most serious sailboats and marked the return of Maxi racing to the Mediterranean.
The Wally fleet was represented by two elegant 24-meter yachts: Kauris II and Ryokan 2 – the winner of the prestigious Compasso d’Oro competition. Both sailboats showcased Wally’s unique design: clean lines, perfect proportions and excellent performance.
«Now more than ever, people are appreciating the value of owning a yacht. We expect Wally to be spectacular as sailing enthusiasts are finally back on the water”, says Stefano de Vivo, Managing Director of Wally. “Taking part in the Regate di Primavera level race is an important event for us, and we will continue to contribute to their development in the future.”
«Variable weather conditions were observed off the coast of Portofino. Seas ran quite high at times, while the wind went from flat calm to gusty and back again. This is quite good for classic racing, leaving an unforgettable experience, ”says Wally founder Luca Bassani. “The two Wally yachts kept pace with the pace, making for a stunning finish at the finish. This is understandable: for almost a year without maxi-yacht races, the owners, for obvious reasons, enthusiastically resume the regatta in the Mediterranean. Wally is delighted to help sailboat owners and Wally Class members take part in one of the most prestigious events in the world this summer. ”
The guests were also able to appreciate the Wallytender line. Both the 43wallytender and 48wallytender stood out not only for their striking design, but also delighted in impeccable maneuverability and handling.
The event, now known as the Regate di Primavera, has been held almost every year for over 40 years in Portofino. Last year, of course, the event was canceled due to the pandemic, but Wally were keen to resume racing and did their best to return to the racing ranks. Over the past four decades, the Wally Class fleet has expanded its range from 24 meters to 50 meters in length.
Wally’s big events are expected over the next six months. After the Regate di Primavera in Portofino, Wally is expected to take part in the Loro Piana Super Yacht in Porto Cervo (June 1-5), as well as the Giraglia Rolex Cup (June 16-19), Superyacht Cup in Palma de -Majorca (23-26 June), the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo (5-11 September) and Voiles de St Tropez, which will close the season from 4-9 October.
Over the past few years, Croatia has become very popular among tourists, and this is not at all surprising, because Croatia has everything: from stunning natural landscapes and historical sights to vibrant parties. A growing number of summer festivals and nightclubs attract audiences from all over the world to cities such as Zagreb, Split, Pula and the islands of Pag and Murter.
Croatia’s second largest city – Split
The city of Split was founded about 600 years ago as a Greek colony, then became a Roman, then a Venetian city. Mostly this city is associated with the palace of Emperor Diocletian, a well-preserved fortress-like structure overlooking the sea, built in the 4th century. Today the palace is listed as a World Heritage Site and is surrounded by many restaurants and bars.
For the last two years, the Ultra Europe festival has been held in July. The best DJs of electronic music in the world perform at the Polyud Stadium, which is attended by tens of thousands fans. Split Summer Festival, Mediterranean Film Festival and Split Film Festival are just some of the events that take place in the city during the summer months.
Murter Island
Murter Island belongs to the North Dalmatian group of islands, the densest archipelago in both the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. Murter is famous for its nightlife and festivals, as well as great clubs around Tisno, one of the island’s four cities.
Barbarella’s Discotheque, an open-air club on a small peninsula that was named by the Guardian as one of the 25 world’s best in 2015. Every August, Tisno hosts the Soundwave Festival – music, light shows and street art – taking place at The Garden, a natural amphitheater with its own bay, sandy beach and crystal clear waters. Other festivals are also held on the island – SunceBeat and Electric Elephant.
Pula
This ancient city on the Istrian peninsula is home to two of the best music festivals in Europe, held in an abandoned fortress. Dimensions and Outlook festivals bring together the most cutting-edge performers in techno, minimal, house and grime.
Numerous concerts are held in the city center, in the well-preserved Roman amphitheater. In addition to Roman architecture such as the Gate of Hercules and the Forum with the Temple of Augustus, the city offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment options.
Island of Pag
The island of Pag, the best place in Croatia for summer beach parties and festivals, is located in the northern part of the Adriatic, near the city of Zadar. Not long ago, the island was best known for its sheep’s milk cheese, but now it is becoming a popular party spot and has even got the nickname “Croatian Ibiza”. Many clubs and beach bars are concentrated around Zrce, a Blue Flag beach that attracts large numbers of people year after year. In June, July and August, Zrce Beach hosts several music festivals such as Hideout, Fresh Island, Sonus, Croatia Rocks and Electrobeach.
Zagreb
The capital of Croatia is often overlooked by tourists in favor of the coast, however, it is a city that offers entertainment all year round: many bars, nightclubs and concert venues. The most popular music festival in Zagreb is INmusic, which takes place on Lake Jarun, where the city’s largest clubs such as Aquarius Club and Gallery are also located.
There are many restaurants, bars and pubs in the city center, including the Hemingway Lounge Bar – with a selection of 250 cocktails, BP Club – with live jazz performances, Jackie Brown – a stylish and sophisticated lounge club, Saloon – with electronic beats, and Škola with sound live jazz, funk, house, rhythm and acid jazz.
In summer, Strossmayer Street is an open area for artists and musicians, where performances and concerts take place, as well as a beautiful view of the Lower Town.
The first thing you should take with you when you are going to have a cruise is a charge of vivacity, good mood and great company. Having dealt with these points, you can continue the preparation more thoroughly. If you have collected all the essentials, but you are still left with the feeling that something is missing, Yachts Review invites you to familiarize yourself with an overview of cool, but at the same time very necessary things that will come in handy on a long and not very long voyage.
Pet life jacket
Great news for pet owners, there is no more need to urgently look for overexposure for your beloved pet or book a place in a hotel, you can take it with you on a yacht trip. And in order not to worry about its safety, just put on a special life jacket. Life jacket, as in the case of a person, is selected according to the size of the animal, and there is a special handle on the back, with which it will be convenient to get the pet out of the water. Preference should be given to bright colors in order to better see it in the water. Reflective elements here will not be superfluous, in case if swimming will continue until twilight.
Pet water steps
Another great invention that will make your cruise more comfortable if you are not ready to part with your pets, is a boat ladder (or stairs). A simple but very convenient device will help the dog easily return to the yacht or jump into the water whenever it wants, without bothering the owner to run up (or swim up) to the stern every time to help with this. Helping your pet to get on or off the boat is advised in any case tho. Even if you think that the dog swims very well.
Underwater drone
We got used to the idea that any beauty can be captured from a bird’s eye view with a quadcopter. Beautiful landscapes, sporting events, concerts, even events in the air can now be captured with no obstacles. And what about fans of underwater photography and sea depths? Divers have not spared innovative ideas either; in the last couple of years first prototypes have begun to appear, and today they are already full-fledged underwater drones. They can move up and down, sideways, avoid obstacles, take photos and videos. You can control the drone remotely from a tablet or by connecting it to your smartphone (it depends on the configuration of the model).
You should take into account such characteristics as weight, length of the cable connecting the drone to the remote control (they can be 15, 100, and even 400 meters), speed and battery when choosing a drone. On average, the battery can hold a charge up to two hours, but the option of purchasing an additional unit is available and the charge will be enough for 4 hours.
Anemometer
Obviously, this device measures wind speed. If the old anemometers were two bowls, which spun the wind in proportion to its speed, then modern devices can transmit data directly to smartphones. And they are definitely always at hand. When the captain asks: “How many knots are blowing?” – you can quickly give an accurate answer. Moreover, in addition to speed, modern devices also show wind direction, temperature, humidity, and can predict the weather. Basically, a useful thing for cruising.
Waterproof document pouch
This stuff does not need a detailed description. If the documents are not laminated, they can get wet and deteriorate. Anything happens at sea. Storm, flooded cockpit, and here the bag was left unattended and opened… You can also put into the pouch your electronics, a telephone and other various valuable things. In short, it is better not to neglect it.
Keychain with whistle and minicompass
We recall the first two points and put this device in our pocket: it certainly will not take up much space, but it can bring a lot of benefit. The whistle will help attract the attention of a pet that has sailed far from the boat. And in communicating with the crew it will help you not to break your voice while trying to get someone’s attention.
Snap tool for covers and awnings
All ingenious is simple. And thanks to such a simple invention fingers and nails will remain safe and sound. How many crippled hands have been seen by several generations of seafarers. This tool works on either outside and inside snaps. Also it will work both for right-handers and left-handers.
Binoculars with image stabilization
If your cruise is in the best traditions of Jules Vernes’ stories, then looking at the islands and lands just holding binoculars in your hands is not a good idea, trembling hands and rocking of the ship will distort the picture so much that it is simply impossible to see what is in the distance at high magnification. There are two ways out: either a tripod for binoculars or a stabilizer. It will cost several times more, binoculars with image stabilization are classified as professional optics, but you can distinguish a seagull from an albatross using it. Suddenly you will want to do photo hunting right in the open sea.
Bose sunglasses
Bose Frames is a new and entertaining development that combines the function of sunglasses and wireless headphones at the same time. Miniature speakers are built into the bow of the glasses, while no one will know if suddenly you will start to listen to the nostalgic melodies of Utesov peering into the depths of the sea. The sound from the glasses is audible only to their wearer. The glasses are connected to the phone through the application and thanks to the microphone you can receive calls or make voice commands.
Solar charger
A portable solar panel for charging your phone will become an indispensable attribute on long trips, especially if there is no way to recharge it on the boat. You no longer need to worry about spare batteries. A couple more advantages: the charger is lightweight, compact, waterproof, and the process is environmentally friendly.
Waterproof LED-flashlight
Led lighting is replacing all other types of lamps in many areas of human life, whether it is street lighting in metropolitan areas or portable pocket lights. Its illumination is many times better and brighter and the eyes do not strain so much in the dark in an attempt to make out the desired object. Make sure you have a couple of these lights on hand when boarding the boat. Also the waterproof options should be chosen that it could make up service in a severe storm.
Rescue lock knife
On a yacht ride ropes or fishing line or seaweed can often wind up on the screws. In order not to overshadow your trip with an unplanned parking, quality knives will come in handy for trimming unnecessary items. It is worth paying attention to these three options from Whitby: LK260, RK10 / OR and DK1728 / Y. They are made of stainless steel and have hook ends to tackle the trickiest of ropes.
Royal Falcon Yachts Kolishny Kerivnik presenting the project of a mega-yacht, a service for additional nuclear power Let’s take a trip without koshtovnoy lucky students, for example, we will save $ 3 million for participation in the prelude to the experience of the class.
Aaron Olivera became the mastermind, which won the popularity for the majestic Porsche yacht. For this idea, the ship will start sailing in 2025 with 160 participants on board from different disciplines, 20 students, 165 sportsmen and 40 VIP guests, who can pay 3 million dollars for tickets.
Aaron Olivera, the CEO of Earth 300, told Money FM, told Money FM he thought of the yacht and voyage in 2015, when he went scuba diving in the Maldives. When he went scuba diving in the Maldives he saw dead coral that was killed by the overacidification in the ocean. And the idea of sending “the most beautiful and most intelligent minds” aboard the ship of the new generation came to him.
The design of the ship, which will be powered by safe and sustainable atomic energy from a molten-salt reactor, has 22 “cutting-edge” laboratories that have artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, real-time data processing, and the latest quantum computer.
“It’s state-of-the-art science at sea,” Olivera said on Money FM.
The vessel has a sleek look. It’s 300 meters long, which is about three football fields, by 46 meters wide, and by 60 meters tall at its highest point, or about the height of an 18-story building.
“It’s a vessel that’s got the overall size of a cruise ship, but it’s not a cruise ship. It’s got the overall look of a superyacht, but it’s not a superyacht,” Olivera said on the radio show. “It’s got the technology to rival an aircraft carrier, but it’s not an aircraft carrier. It’s going to have the endurance and the exploration skills of an explorer vessel, but it’s not an explorer vessel. It’s all of those put together in one package.”
Before founding Earth 300, Olivera was the president of Falcon Royal Yachts, where he helped create two luxury megayachts designed by Porsche, according to his LinkedIn profile. Before that, he worked at Corporate Grand, creating elite dining and entertainment experiences for the ultrawealthy.
The CEO has “experiences in a myriad of industries, from training and development, to publishing, hospitality, retail and yachting,” according to his bio on the Earth 300 website.
When asked why he decided to create a ship to be the vessel for studying climate change, Olivera said, “The oceans are the beating heart of the planet. Without oceans, there cannot be any life.”
Currently, the Earth 300 is just an ambitious concept, which, if successful, can go to the first voyage in 2025.
Olivera has already funneled $5 million into the design, and European and South Korean shipyards are likely to carry out the construction, according to reporting from Entrepreneur. The news site said the total cost of the ship would be about $500 million to $700 million, with some funding coming from private investors.
“The idea was to design an object that would be able to capture everybody’s imaginations on a global scale,” Olivera said on Money FM, adding: “There’s nothing like this.”
Most of us want to diversify our daily routine. When motor boats are boring and you want some yachting romance, you can always change the noise of the engine to a light rustle of the sail. The romantic melodiousness of the atmosphere will be complemented by the tapping of winches, the creak of the tiller and the grinding of sheets. What could be more beautiful than a full course and wind-filled sails?
By the way, about the sails. Sails are different and are intended for different sailing in different conditions. Straight and oblique, gaff, slatted, Bermuda, sprint, Latin… There is a huge variety of them, and this is not surprising because sailing has existed for three millennia. But today we will talk about sailing equipment for a type of yacht called the Bermuda Sloop – this is the most common type of modern sailing boat used today and also most often rented in charter.
The Bermuda Sloop is a single-masted yacht with a triangular mainsail and a standard set of head sails. It can be a jib, staysail, spinnaker or gennaker.
High speed will be ensured by a correctly selected sail area, which depends on the purpose of the boat, in what water area the sailing is supposed to take place, the displacement of the yacht and its design features (for example, the material of the hull, whether there is a bulwark, etc.).
Mainsail
The mainsail on the Bermuda Sloop is a triangular Bermuda type sail. Like any triangle, it has three angles – the head (attached to the top of the mast), the clew and the tack. The luff of this sail stretches over the mast, the lower leech stretches along the boom. In classic sails there are also battens, additional stiffeners, which give it a more efficient wing shape, and all kinds of eyelets for additional ends. This sail can be used to sail in any direction. But don’t forget to monitor the boomvang when changing course. One of the advantages of this sail is that, if set up correctly, it can only be operated by one person.
In the past, if the wind intensified, the mainsail needed to be changed to a smaller one. Today, there are modern systems of slab reefing, which help to reduce the area of the sails. With the help of a special rope the sail is lowered and its bottom is pulled up, the area decreases, and with it the load from the steering and the pressure on the sail decrease. When the wind is strong, don’t forget about the corrugation.
Staysail (or Jib)
The staysail also has a triangular shape and is a head sail, which is attached to the yacht’s headstock by the leech. The jib is often used for walking on a beydewind and gulfind course (when the wind is blowing against the direction of the yacht). There are several types of staysails, and depending on their shape and size they are used in different weather conditions. In a strong storm the jib is usually used. Basically, it is the smallest sail, which occupies only 20% of the space between the headstock and the mast, and provides the necessary control with minimal stress on the mast and rudder.
Genoa
Genoa is a large staysail, it’s luff and clew usually reach or can even be placed beyond the mast. This sail is used in light winds on Beydewind and Galfind courses. For long cruise trips it is recommended to have three genoas, which are numbered 1, 2 and 3 and can be changed when the wind changes.
There are additional sails, which can be installed separately or in addition to the existing sails, and are only used on a tail course when the wind comes in from the stern. They are called spinnaker and gennaker sails.
Spinnaker
Spinnaker is the largest sail made of light and rustling round-shaped material. It is used on passing courses from fordewind to backstay and galfind. The sail is lifted by the head, which is attached to the mast, and is held by a special yarn, which changes position along with the sail on turns. It is controlled with braces and the jib is usually retracted. Its control requires many simultaneous actions, so it is extremely difficult to cope with alone, it requires well-coordinated crew work.
Gennaker
Gennaker seems to be something between a spinnaker and a jib. It is an oblique sail with a high clew. It is smaller in area than a spinnaker, but larger than a genoa, and is used for walking on different courses from fordewind to beidewind. Its distinctive feature is that it is mounted on a separate headstock.
Code Zero
Code Zero is an asymmetrical spinnaker that works more like a genoa. The sail was designed for sailing in very light winds on a close hauled course. Due to the fact that the sail is made of composite materials, it is not cheap, so it is rarely seen on charter boats. It is preferred by professional racers.
It is up to the captain to choose the correct sail. It depends on the number of people on board, the experience of the crew, their skill, direction of travel and weather conditions. Those who love speed and movement will choose sharper courses and choose a spinnaker, adherents of calm cruising will give preference to a genoa and relaxation. It’s great when there is plenty to choose from, and it’s even better when you understand a little about why a certain choice is made!
