Harnessing the wind!

Of course a sailboat needs sails. So, here's what we have on Ama Mama:

  1. Main
  2. 100% hank on jib
  3. 130% genoa - old and rarely used
  4. Screacher on a roller furler out on the bow sprit
  5. Symmetrical spinnaker - flown with blocks off the bows
Spinnaker sheets (white/green), guys (white/red), and blocks along with barber-haulers (white/blue).

Jib and main in action. Note the screacher laying down and attached to the bow sprit.
