I have done a lot of Topaz Gennaker sailing in the last 15 years. These are great instructions and very helpful for someone doing this for the first time. 👍 The only thing that I would have done differently is that the tack rope that leads to the end of the bowsprit should be rigged as short as you can get away with. If you have it slightly too long the Genneker will 'wander/oscillate' while it is flying which can lead to control problems in higher winds. We never have the tack of our sail further than 2-3 inches from the end of the sprit even though it means that the sail doesn't fully go down the chute. Really good advice in this video thanks and that was a great trick with the tiller extension 👍
Do you know where I can find the full list of differenc between Uno/race/X? I bought and Uno, has now got a race sail, bit your mast sure looks different
