I have a symetrical spinnaker that goes unused because of short-handed crew (usally just the two of us). Is it possible and practical to have the spinnaker re-cut to an asymetrical sail? How economical is this compared to a new APC?

Spinnaker Re-cut

Hi Jerry, thanks for joining the Doyle Sails Forum. Depending on the cut of your spinnaker, it may be possible to recut the sail to be used like an Asymmetrical. However, True asymmetrical spinnakers have a much different shape than a Symmetrical to make them easier to fly. Our Loft is in St. Petersburg, may I suggest that you bring your spinnaker to our loft and we can check out the design and condition, to determine feasability of a re-cut. You can contact me for directions at timstodola@doyleplochsails.com
