Cruising spinnakers are the ultimate downwind sails. They capture maximum wind power and convert it into speed while keeping your yacht balanced. At Lidgard Sails, we custom build each cruising spinnaker to match your yacht. We focus on durability, stability, and control, so you can enjoy reliable performance on long passages and coastal cruising alike.
Introducing Lidgard
Spinnakers
Multi Purpose Spinnaker
Lidgard Sails Multipurpose Spinnaker flies from a spinnaker pole for general sailing and ocean cruising. You can also use it with an ATN style snuffer sock for launching and retrieving. It is commonly built from 1–1.5 ounce cloth.
ATN Retrieval Sock
These are tubular socks with a fibreglass front lip. Flown from above the spinnaker they can be pulled down to collapse and douse the sail making the dropping of the spinnaker easier and less risky especially short handed or family cruising. When relaunching the spinnaker the Snuffer remains over the spinnaker and is then hoisted up by a separate line allowing the spinnaker to fly.
