Gennaker Rigging Overview

The Xenon Gennaker sail is a very large lightweight sail. It adds another dimension to sailing the Xenon. It is very versatile and can be used in virtually all downwind points of sail. Contrary to common perceptions it is easy to launch and retrieve and well worth the minor hassle of rigging. The one disadvantage is that you will run out of water relatively quickly! - a decent sized sailing venue is a must to enjoy this sail. Enjoy the fun

The Xenon Gennaker rigging information is split into two sections.

a)   The Standing rigging, ie the rigging that can be left in place when the boat is in storage Standing Rigging

b)   The Main rigging, ie the lines connecting the Gennaker sail to the Bowsprit, Downhaul and sheets. These are rigged just before sailing.
