A1 Asymmetric Spinnaker

The A1 is the lightest and most low-wind-friendly spinnaker in the entire ASY (A-) sail family. It was designed as a high-performance VMG reacher that allows you to sail at maximum speed in the lightest conditions —it’s ideal in winds up to about 10 knots, when the traditional A2 is already too heavy to perform effectively.

Thanks to its exceptionally lightweight construction and relatively flat profile, the A1 launches quickly, maintains a stable shape, and allows for smooth acceleration even with minimal wind pressure. This allows you to fully exploit the boat’s potential when sailing on downwind courses, especially on long race legs where every fraction of a knot of VMG counts.

This spinnaker was designed for crews seeking maximum efficiency in light winds—it’s the perfect choice for calm days when maintaining the yacht’s speed and momentum is the biggest challenge.
