    Description

    Thanks for looking. Up for grabs is this Doyle
    sails
    UPS , Utility Power Sail /
    Gennaker
    . it is in new condition and has never been deployed. it comes with
    sheets
    , sailbag and a Chutescoop dousing sock. You could easily add a
    Code Zero
    continuous line fuller , but my application didn't have enough room
    outboard
    of the headstay. It is designed to be used either way.
    Measurements:
    Sail Area: 30.52 square meters
    Luff (Tack) 10.1 meter
    Leech (Clew) 9.1 meter
    foot: 5.3 meter
    Girth: 65%
    The sail was made about 3 years ago for a
    boat
    that I no longer own. The cost of sail , Chutescoop etc was approximately: 00.
    The
    boat
    it was made for is a
    Vancouver
    25 , a heavy , full
    keel
    Bluewater
    cruiser in a small package.
    specs:
    LOA
    : 29
    LWL : 21.67
    Beam: 8.6
    Draft
    : 4
    Disp.: 7380 lbs.
    Ballast: 2600 lb.
    This sail will
    work
    on similar boats in the 25-32 ft. range.
    I'm selling because I no longer need it and I'm
    funding
    other projects to get my present boat ready to
    cruise
    .
    Feel free to ask any and all questions , and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
    I'm offering the sail for 00. or a reasonable best offer plus
    shipping
    .
    Thanks for looking!
    "
    It’s the first sail for cruisers who’ve done away with cumbersome, overlapping genoas but don’t want to give up power in light air, or performance at any
    wind
    speed while reaching or running.
    The UPS is lightweight. It sets and furls on its own luff
    rope
    and
    furler
    . It goes upwind and downwind. It flies like a
    spinnaker
    , but cannot collapse like a
    spinnaker
    , even when sailing as close as 33 degrees apparent. The effective
    wind
    range of a UPS is 33-180 degrees apparent.
    The UPS sets on its own flexible Vectran line so there\’s no need to remove your
    furling
    genoa
    , and it stores in its own bag when not in use.
    When sailing hard on the wind the
    jib
    and main
    work
    almost as one, and thus the combined elliptical profile determines the aerodynamic efficiency. When eased off, or reaching, the
    sails
    act more independently and the geometry of each is critical to performance. The sail designers at Doyle have developed shaping techniques that support critical roach area in headsails without the need for battens so you can enjoy the efficiency of an elliptical form and have a sail that can be easily furled! Thus, not only does the Doyle UPS provide more area for light air and for off the wind sailing it provides much greater efficiency!"
