Frequently Asked Questions about the Code Zero Sail

What exactly is a Code Zero sail?

A Code Zero is a light weather headsail midway between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker. It is designed for roomy to downwind courses in light to moderate winds, and offers more speed and efficiency than standard sails in this wind range.

What is the difference between a Code Zero and a gennaker?

A Code Zero is cut tighter and performs better downwind than a gennaker, which, on the contrary, is more suited to ample wind. The Code Zero is therefore more versatile and can also be used at smaller angles to the wind.

Is a furler necessary for a Code Zero sail?

A furler like the Seldén CX is highly recommended because it rolls the sail in and out quickly and safely, especially in varying wind conditions. More than 70% of our customers choose this.

What boats is a Code Zero suitable for?

Virtually all sailboats can use a Code Zero, from cruising yachts to racing boats. We fully customize the sail to suit rigging, sailing style and wind range.

What does a Code Zero sail cost?

The price depends on the size of your ship, the type of canvas, finishing and whether you choose accessories such as a furler. Request a quote for a competitive, personalized price estimate.
