Do you know your Code Sails? Swipe 10 pics with info on these light wind power units. Cruising and performance sailors on yachts—especially those sailing catamarans—are increasingly turning to Code sails to fill the power gap between traditional headsails (genoas and above all self-tacking solents) and downwind spinnakers.  ▫️ These free-flying, furling sails combine versatility, relative ease of use, and performance across a range of wind angles in lighter winds. ▫️ But with names like Code 0, Code 65, 55, Code D, “screecher”, "reacher" and “gennaker” floating around, what do these terms actually mean? ▫️ Let’s break it down by sail type, wind angle suitability, and best use cases. ▫️ Term Screecher slang for flat Code sails (typically Code 65 or Code 0) Gennaker - Generic asymmetric sail between genoa and spinnaker; a.k.a a Code D SMG - Sail Mid-Girth (% of foot); defines sail depth. ▫️ What's your favourite light wind sail? #Sails #academy #learnsailing

One of the most intimidating things for sailors and boaters pulling into Fort Lauderdale for the first time is dealing with the network of opening bridges on the Intracoastal Waterway. In Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas on the ICW the bridges open on a schedule with a request over the VHF radio. They monitor channel 9, and open every thirty minutes upon request. Heading north from Port Everglades to Hillsboro Inlet here is the list of bridges and their opening schedule: 17th Street Cause Way - On the hour or half-hour Las Olas Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Sunrise Bridge - On the hour or half-hour Oakland Park Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Commercial Bridge - On the hour or half-hour Atlantic Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour NE 14th St Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Hillsboro Inlet Bridge - On the hour or half-hour For more information on anything boating or sailing related, don't hesitate to reach out. www.CatamaranCentral.com info@CatamaranCentral.com
