Guest Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 once again, sorry squid for posting stuff in the wrong places but it is alot busier here. WANTED- a small gennaker, preferably a tad smaller than a 29er one, for a piedy. cheers jordan Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If its for a piedy a 29er chute will be way way to small. The piedy gennakers used to be 2 rig kites from the 12footers if i remember correctly. But then they had to get beefed up a bit to take the extra load of the weight of the boat etc. 29er kites are tiny! Overall mast height of 29er is 6.25 metres and they run a fractional chute about 1.5m down on that. The spinnaker sheave box on a class legal piedy is 8.932m above deck level. With a 1.2m prod that will need a luff around 10metres. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ya dont want to go too small otherwise you will issues sending it in under 30 knots... Mines a good size not sure if it is purpose built or off something else.. As Marshy said it would want to be reinforced if its off a skiff as the Piedy is a fair bit heavier.

Marshy 30 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The white one xtreme gennaker is a custom North sails chute, Absolute glamour, Built it for Yosemite sam and then when Jimmy sold boat we sold a few sails to our flatmates who owned your boat. The Yellow gennaker is an old 12 kite. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 PM Twitchy - he has (or had) the old (brand new) genny off Black Fun for sale at a reasonable price. - Luff is about 9.4m from memory. Its indestructable and should be about the right size for a peidy. Its almost brand new and its black...and a lot bigger than a 29er genny. Link to post Share on other sites
