Introducing Lidgard

Our Racing Gennakers

A0 Gennaker

A0 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A0 Gennakers are primarily used for tight angle reaching. Constructed from Code Zero laminate an A0 has a 75% mid girth to meet international sailing regulations for sail measurement. These sails can be furled and have a custom luff rope to ensure a tight luff and maximum performance. An A0 is a hugely powerful sail that can greatly improve a yachts performance reaching in light and heavy breeze.

A1 Gennaker

A1 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A1 Gennakers are performance light air sails. They often have a tighter luff that enables the sail to stay set in light breeze and rolling swells. Constructed from .5 ounce nylon cloth to keep the sail light and easily flown. An A1 Gennaker has reduced shoulders and is usually a flatter sail to reduce stalled wind in the Gennaker and create wind flow.

A2 Gennaker

A2 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A2 Gennakers are full size running sails. These sails have maximum luff length and shoulder width to optimize performance running downwind. These sails fly with a projected luff for maximum power and stability. Usually constructed from .6 ounce – .9 ounce Spinnaker cloth. All our A2 Gennakers have structural luff rope and flat tapes for extra reinforcing around the edges. Lazy sheet preventers and clew strops for sheet peels are optional extras.
A3 Gennaker

A3 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A3 Gennakers are reduced-area reaching sails designed for tighter reaching angles. With narrower shoulders and tighter luffs, they deliver optimal reaching performance. Built from heavy Spinnaker Nylon or Code Zero fabrics, they minimise stretch for maximum stability and reliability. All A3 Gennakers include structural luff ropes and flat tapes for edge reinforcement, with optional lazy sheet preventers and clew strops for sheet peels.
A4 Gennaker

A4 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A4 Gennakers are from the same mould as an A2. An A4 is a mast head heavy weight cloth running Gennaker. Usually constructed from 1 ounce Spinnaker cloth. Suitable for offshore Yachts and Grand Pre race yachts that are often pushing the wind limits for a mast head Gennaker. All our A4 Gennakers have structural luff rope and flat tapes for extra reinforcing around the edges. Lazy sheet preventers and clew strops for sheet peels are optional extras.
A5 Gennaker

A5 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A5 Gennakers are fractional running sails built for heavy airs. Medium-sized with a full shape and maximum luff length, they deliver strong stability and power downwind. Constructed from 1.5oz Spinnaker nylon, they resist blow-outs and extend longevity. All A5 Gennakers include structural luff ropes and flat tapes for edge reinforcement, with optional lazy sheet preventers and clew strops for sheet peels.
A7 Gennaker

A7 Gennaker

Lidgard Sails A7 Gennakers are a traditional heavy air Gennaker and are flat cut with a tight luff and reduced area making these sails perfect for open ocean blast reaching/heavy air running. Constructed from 1.5 ounce nylon or Code Zero style laminate to ensure these sails are bullet proof. All our A7 Gennakers have structural luff rope and flat tapes for extra reinforcing around the edges. Lazy sheet preventers and clew strops for sheet peels are optional extras.
