TRADEWIND
La TradeWind es una vela de crucero de doble propósito que puede volarse con orejas de burro para ángulos de viento de portantes o como vela de través de dos capas para ángulos de viento más cerrados.
La TradeWind se basa en el antiguo concepto de vela de proa gemela, proporcionando una vela ligera, de vuelo libre y enrollable, independiente del estay fijo y de la vela de proa de ceñida.
Cuando se utiliza con ángulos de viento de entre 150 y 180 grados, la TradeWind proporciona una forma sencilla y segura de propulsión en portantes. Una TradeWind utiliza un tangón fijo para estabilizar y cazar la vela de barlovento, mientras que la vela de sotavento se caza en medio del barco, lo que proporciona un flujo continuo a través de ambas velas.
Para ángulos de través más cerrados, ambas escotas pueden cazarse juntas a sotavento, para servir como una vela de través para ángulos de viento real entre 70-140. Esto proporciona un segundo modo de navegación, creando potencia en brisa ligera adicional.
