About Our Downwind
Sails
Most cruising clients use what the industry calls ‘standard’ sails. This is not just about the size of the sail but the shape of the finished product. The wind angles and wind ranges change throughout the sizes.
​
​Direct-Sails’ standard downwind sails are our most popular as they are easy to handle and durable; they are perfect for the cruising market because the wind angles are flexible enough to allow a cruiser to use them on a fairly broad wind range.
​
Standard Asymmetrical Spinnaker (estimate wind range: 80 to 155 apparent wind angle)

ASYMMETRIC OPTIONS - STANDARD SIZES
This sail option is a great choice for the sailor who might be ‘solo sailing’ or out on the water with limited crew. Due to its lack of spinnaker pole, the asymmetric spinnaker allows for more versatility on the water, making it an ideal addition to your sail collection.
