Hood Multi-Purpose Genoa (MP-G)

The MP-G brings the cruising yachtsman a purpose-designed and proven option for sailing in light airs. The design incorporates a bi-radial construction, making full use of the strong warp characteristics of top quality nylon for maximum strength and retention of shape.

The MP-G is designed for use in light to medium airs (0 -12 knots) and apparent wind angles of 30 - 90 degrees. It improves light air performance and compliments the small inventory of the cruising yacht - mainsail, furling genoa and perhaps Cruising Chute. When the furling genoa is too small and heavy, the MP-G provides light air power and keeps the boat moving. 

The MP-G is set flying so there is no need to remove the furling genoa. Nylon construction together with a non stretch luff rope, makes it particularly easy to handle; it also means that the MP-G takes up minimal storage space. No specialised or costly equipment is needed - just a halyard and sheets. 

An MP-G can be made in any of the usual nylon colours to the layout of your choice, subject to the limitations of panel configuration. An approximate guide to cloth weights is : 

up to 45 ft overall - 1.5 oz
55 ft and above - 2.2. oz

Ask about a luff wire and combined furling gear to simply roll the sail up around its own luff and stow the sail rolled.
