This is a high performance continuous and tapered spinnaker sheet for the Thistle sailboat. Developed in coordination with Thistle class experts, this is a continuous sheet, with the center running through the boat and the ends attached to the sail, so you have one sheet to keep track of instead of two separate sheets. The cover is striped on each end to expose the core, reducing the weight and bulk of the sheet in the air and through the blocks. This sheet is made from 6mm Marlow Excel Racing, with a Dyneema SK-78 core for low stretch and a 16 plait polyester cover for durability and great hand feel. Finished to a recommended length of approximately 52 feet. Additional center point whip added for easy identification of the middle of the sheet.
