Downwind Sail Cruising Code D Delta Voiles

The Downwind Sail Cruising Code D Delta Voiles was designed in 2010 to simplify downwind sailing, particularly for family or short-handed crews. With its ease of use, wide operating range, power, and stability, the CODE D® offers a simplified and secure sailing experience. This downwind sail combines the advantages of an asymmetrical spinnaker and a gennaker in a high-performance hybrid design, and it can be deployed in just a few minutes. It is fully compatible with all furlers on the market and does not necessarily require a bowsprit.

The CODE D® can be used from 60° to 140° apparent wind angle, with an optimal range that nearly covers both asymmetrical spinnakers and gennakers. When used with a pole, its range extends to 165–180°. Thanks to its Contender® Nylon fabric, pre-tensioned Kevlar® anti-twist luff rope, and high-end finishing details (laser-cut panels, Velcro clew closure), the CODE D® ensures great stability and long-lasting durability, even under heavy loads.

Designed for cruisers and sailors seeking comfortable navigation, this Cruising sail is made from durable materials such as Dacron or cruise laminates. It offers excellent shape retention, ease of use, and high reliability on all points of sail. Perfect for both coastal and offshore cruising programs.
