![]() ![]() ![]() Sails built with a mid-girth length (the shortest distance between the leech mid-point and the luff) greater than or equal to 75% of the foot length qualify as spinnakers. The sail is considered a spinnaker instead of a genoa because of its dimensions. It was very successful and since its introduction racers around the world have followed suit. The event winners, Paul Cayard and the crew of ‘EF Language’, used a very small, tight-reaching spinnaker that could be used while the other teams could only use their genoas. The code zero was introduced in the 1997/98 Whitbread (now Volvo) Round the World Race. However, the practical applications of the sail apply just as much (if not more) to cruising boats. Racers have discovered that because of its size and applicable wind strength and angle ranges, the sail has benefits for racing performance while avoiding rating penalties. Officially a code zero is a spinnaker for use in tight-reaching in light air – that’s it! The sail tends to be the smallest spinnaker in any sail inventory, whether racing or cruising. In this article we remove some of the mystique around this specialty sail and explain how it can be used to enhance anyone’s sailing experience. Many sailors, especially cruisers, shy away from cruising the code zero, despite the sail’s versatility and ability to add significant increases in boat speed. This boat is centrally listed by RCR Yachts.By Chuck Skewes of Ullman Sails San Diego Tampa Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. At the foot of the gently sloping companionway, the L-shaped galley has top and bottom storage, a 75-litre refrigerator and a real oven under the gas stove. The large shower room is divided into a marine toilet on one side and shower and washbasin on the other. The two benches in the saloon provide an additional place for two extra berths. The two good-sized double cabins each have berths running lengthwise and an open entryway making them feel particularly spacious. With a few extra centimetres won in strategic places the Oceanis 30.1 differs from other boats, thanks to a headspace of 1.98 m in all the places inside where it is comfortable to stand. Aft, a step affords access to the sea and can be supplemented by a small lifting platform. For performance, the Oceanis 30.1 has a large overlapping genoa, a furling code zero and an asymmetric spinnaker. For beginners or for short-handed sailing, the self-tailing jib and the single winch make her easy to handle. With her slender bow, optimized weight, stiff canvas and square-top mainsail, she performs well in all points of sailing. The Finot-Conq plan has met the double challenge of power and simple navigation. With a stemhead and her hard-chine hull and well-proportioned sides and coachroof, the Oceanis 30.1 looks unashamedly like a small yacht. With unbeatable living space for its size and a focus on simplicity of use, the smallest model of the cruising range is nevertheless stylish, and fast, with a highly competitive ready-to-sail price.
