49er's features and specifications.

Features

• The ram vang, pushing down on the boom from above, saves the mast from inverting and creates space forward under the boom.
• The high boom allows an easy run from wing to wing in the tacks and gybes.
• Solid wing, an integral part of the design, makes moving around the boat easier for sailors.
• Wings slide inboard for storage and trailering.
• Self-tacking jib runs on a curved traveler spanning the deck in front of the mast.
• Pulling the halyard extends the carbon fiber spinnaker pole, pulls the tack out to its end and hoists the spinnaker. Pulling the other end releases the halyard, pulls the spinnaker into its chute and also retracts the pole.
• Plexus, a super tough Methacrylate adhesive, is used to bond spinnaker throat to deck.
