Doyle UPS Info wanted

[Charles]

Hello Doyle Sailmakers!We are considering a Doyle UPS, can you share any information about this sail and how it performs. Any additional info other than the brochure we have would be helpful. We currently fly a 140% genoa on a furler, would the UPS really increase our light air performance upwind and downwind? (we rarely sail dead downwind, mostly a very broad reach)We get a lot of light wind in Texas in the summer!Thanks,Charles Duhonwww.ArtistryMarineArt.com

UPS info

Charles, You can get info on the UPS via the doylesails.com website. This sail is a true hybrid between a roller furling genoa and an asymmetrical reaching spinnaker. You would improve upwind performance in light airs because the UPS is both larger and lighter than your genoa. Downwind it is not as powerful as a full size kite but again being lighter and more area will it increse your downwind speed. Best of all when you're done with it you simply roll it up like your RF Genoa!Bill Colombo, Doyle SF
