Rolling sail Genna - an option

The M460 Esprit & Elite models have the option of being enhanced by adding a rolling sail called the 'GENNA'. This sail has a large, triangular shape similar to a balloon and is extremely lightweight. It follows the design of a 'Code Zero' sail and greatly improves the performance of sailing, not only when sailing with the wind but also against it or at an angle.

The Genna comes with a furler, eliminating the need for a snuffer, and can be rolled in the same way as a jib. This new sail is also compatible with previous models such as the M420 and M460 MiniCats.
