Unfortunately, I don't have the parameters for the Code 0. If you manage to take down the sail unfurled and fold it, it would take much less space, but I cannot imagine doing it in any kind of wind - it is really quite big, bigger than the main sail. If you are planning to use it for racing, you can keep the Code 0 in one ama, and the spinnaker in the other - I think that keeping both in the same will be tough, especially when you try to hoist or lower either one. The one thing to be aware of is that if you plan to store it rolled and folded, it will take a lot of space in your ama since you don't want to roll it tightly for that, and also only loosely fold it. I can tell you more next spring when I will get to use it some more, and in a wider range of conditions. In those conditions, I would get at least 1 knot more boat speed with the code 0 than with the genoa (and we can easily surpass true wind speed with the genoa in light wind). The boat speed in light wind seemed really great, but I haven't sailed it in more than 4-5 knots of true. I have heard the suggestion that I may need to attach a line either to the bow, or use the barber haulers, to attach to the tack line loop or the furler to prevent the line from twisting rather than turning the furler, but so far, this was not necessary. Handling the sail in light wind was very easy, and I could furl and unfurl it in a few seconds by hand for either gybing or taking. So far, I had attached the elastic to the lifting eye at the rear beam, where I can easily grab it from the cockpit to furl and unfurl. I have only tried it in very light wind so far, and it was pretty easy to handle: It comes with an endless furler that goes back towards the cockpit, with a block attached at the far end that has an elastic to stretch the endless line system. Since I only got my boat at the beginning of September, I did not have a chance to use it much yet. It attaches to the tack line on bow sprit with an endless furler. It that was made by Elvstrom in the same material as the new main sail and genoa, I believe it is called Genesis Black Technora with EMT (Elstrom Membrane Technology), and has an area of 75 square meters. Hi Mario, I have a Code 0 on my 35 Ultimate. Mario wrote:Is there anybody who has Code 0? on a roller? I am looking for spec., and would like to hear how it works in practice.
