Its easy enough to use and much more versatile in my opinion. If you are reasonably agile at the bow I would highly recommend an asymmetric in a sock. I picked mine up inexpensively off ebay, they don't come up all that frequently, but no one seems to bid on them either. It will give you the necessary power to sail your boat when. The drifter is useful if you have to point as high as possible into light winds, for me that was only a tiny portion of what I sailed, I would rather bear off a bit and go faster. Code Zero is the go-to sail for reaching applications, in harbour, coastal and off-shore races. However code zero can be used in stronger winds, 18-20 knots up to 110° from the apparent wind. Their aim is to go upwind in light airs or light medium up to 10-12 knots. The cruising code zero is useful for non overlapping headsails boats. Another use for them was poled out as a double headsail dead down wind, but I only did this a couple times for fun and usually flew the asymmetric let way out and no mainsail. High-performance sails, the Code Zero are similar to light genoas. It can be carried more close to the wind. Code 0 is a loose luffed sail between an asymmetric spinnaker and a genoa. They were the best sail for a close reach into 6-10 knots of wind, but everything from a beam reach down the asymmetric spinnaker was better. Tri radial cut and anti twist furling luff rope. I used them instead of the genoa.Īfter initially playing with the drifters I did not use them frequently.
SAILING CODE ZERO FREE
The drifters stored compactly and allowed me to leave the 110 jib on the cdi furler all year since they were free flying from the spinnaker halyard. I had two different cut nylon drifter/gennakers on my as well as a factory spec doyle jib, genoa and asymmetric.
