Gennaker Sailing on a Beneteau 35 in San Diego

Join us on this leisurely sail out of San Diego into the waters of Mexico. We're still figuring out how to sail with a gennaker on our Beneteau 35, so please point out our mistakes :).

I was taught to block the wind behind the gennaker with the mainsail, during setting and dousing the sail. This will make the gennaker easier to manage. I enjoyed your sons explanation of lift.

Thx for the comment! We're still working out the gennaker. Getting more confident each time.

Who made your asymmetric?

[@WilderSailing]

North Sails... It was gifted to us just recently.

@@WilderSailing I need your friends! We will have a factory code zero and will likely get either an ulman, quantum, or North Sails asymmetric down the road

@@SVEverydaysailor I would love to have a code zero. Yeah this sail came us totally unexpected as it was sitting in someone's garage who was no longer sailing. Practically a brand new sail in a super dirty bag.

@@WilderSailing what a steal! Will see you out on the water there
