A Drifter is a full-draft, lightweight
nylon No. 1 genoa that does away with the frustration and aggravation
of sailing in light air. Drifters
are a hybrid designed specifically for cruising sailors. Its wind range
is from 1-15 knots when the apparent wind angle is 30-90 degrees. It
can be used on a run when set wing-and-wing with a whisker pole.
A Drifter is even easier to use than
a cruising spinnaker since the sail has the same profile as a genoa.
UK can custom-make the luff attachment of a Drifter to fit your furling
system, to be used with hanks or set flying. Like a spinnaker or a cruising
spinnaker, you have a choice of many colors to mix and match.
