At the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, our reviewer Jeanne Craig happened upon a Rodman 31 Spirit Hardtop. This boat looks unique, and you'll get a look at why in this First Look video. The Rodman is from Spain, and the European influence is quite pronounced - check this one out. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/01/2014-rodman-spirit-31-hardtop-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com.

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
