New gennaker ordered

Christmas has come a little early for me as I've just ordered a furling gennaker from Elvstrom. It's been the missing sail from our inventory as the non-overlapping jib means that whilst we are great upwind we lose any drive from that sail when we are off the wind. In light winds that's been a problem but the gennaker should sort all of that. It's on a furler so it should be very easy to manage and it will save us switching the engine on in light winds. The sail has a wide range of effectiveness and so it will also act as an oversized genoa when we are beam reaching in light airs. Best of all, it is orange, all over. You will certainly see us coming!
