V2 Japan Design
Two times Gold medal design (used by both mens and womens)

Athens Gold Medal design!

In Beijin Olympics most of the sailors picked this design with the lighter cloth. and 80% of the sailors in Beijin Olympics used V2 with lighter cloth.

In light wind it is vital to sail with searching for the proper angle for the VMG. V2 is the design which is slightly flat to sails well in higher angle in light wind, also good in flatter water or windy condition.

you can stabilize the shape by putting the pole hieght down in average, and more in choppy condition.

Normaly ideal pole height should be lower than the other designs like A2. V3.

V3 Japan Design
Newly Developed Progressive Design!

We have one great design the A2 which has largest project area and good both in flat running and reaching. It’s depth is nicely balanced, powerful, and stable. The new design V3 has similar in total depth compare to A2, but more stable, and easier to trim, it has a slightly smaller project area than A2. The ease of trim and stability is the advantage of this design. It gives a chance for crew to focus more on the wave or sometimes take a look around to help the helm. It also works well in the condition, where it is difficult to trim correctly or keep its flying shape without flapping.

A2 Japan Design
2004,2005,2006,2007 World winning design!
Top share in Olympic fleet

Developed based on A1. it has the widest projected area , powerful, and good for reaching as well. This is the best spinnaker for all round performance. It has been used by a lot of top sailors as the all-round spinnaker.

A1 Japan Design
The best design for flat running
Sydney Olympic Winning Design!

We believe A1 is the best design for flat running to broad reaching especially choppy conditions. It has amazing stability and easy to keep on holding pressure in all the tactical situations and wave conditions. The trimming is so easy, allowing the crew to look outside the boat at wind and competition.
