Sail Inventory — Lupo Di Mare (ex-Querencia)
Rev: v2.0 · Updated: 2026-05-29 · Change: Reconciled to the North Sails Italia V3 wardrobe + added 2026 ORR cert measured areas (estimate caveats retired)
PRE-RACE RESEARCH — not race-period routing advice. Updated 2026-05-29.
Sources: Owner inventory spreadsheet (2026-05-16) · North Sails Italia V3 EXP crossover chart · 2026 ORR cert (USA 12985). Color code: 🟢 GREEN = on boat, ready. 🟡 YELLOW = on boat, status uncertain. 🔴 RED = OFF BOAT.
Cert Measured Sail Areas (2026 ORR, USA 12985) — AUTHORITATIVE
These are the rated areas from the 2026 ORR certificate and govern for any area-based reasoning. They are rated class areas (one rated headsail, one rated asym) — not a per-sail measurement of every jib or every kite.
| Cert item | Area (ft²) | Area (m²) |
|---|---|---|
| Mainsail | 659.2 | 61.2 |
| Genoa / Jib (rated headsail) | 564.6 | 52.5 |
| Asymmetric spinnaker (rated asym) | 2113.2 | 196.3 |
⚠️ XML vs. cert area discrepancy — do not launder the XML. The Expedition master sailchart (LupoDiMare Sailchart MASTER FOR EXPEDITION.xml) reports per-sail sailarea values that are not credible and are superseded by the cert: it lists the jibs at ~123–136 m² (≈1,320–1,460 ft²) and every downwind sail at a flat 495 m² (≈5,328 ft²). The cert's rated jib is 52.5 m² and rated asym 196.3 m². Treat the XML areas as a visualization artifact only; cite the cert for any area claim. The XML is still useful for Expedition polygon shapes and (XML-reported) sail weights below.
XML-reported sail weights (headsails only in the XML; reported, not independently verified — note the internal oddities: J1 > J2, and J3 = HvyW):
| Sail | XML-reported weight |
|---|---|
| J1 | 123 kg |
| J2 | 45.4 kg |
| J3 | 328 kg |
| HvyW (= J4) | 328 kg |
Race Main
| Code | Sail | Location | Status | Tack Point | Halyard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Race Main (cert: 659.2 ft²) | Rigged / Forepeak | 🟢 RIGGED | main tack | main |
| Trys | Storm Trysail | Forepeak | 🟡 Lazarette? ⚠️ | main tack | main |
| DelMain | Delivery Main | Forepeak | 🔴 Packed → Shipping Container (stays home) | main tack | main |
⚠️ Storm Trysail location uncertain. Confirm exact stowage and brief crew before departure.
Upwind / Headsails
North Sails grid codes: J1, J2, J3 carry their own labels; the heavy-weather jib is HvyW in the crossover grid but stowed as J4 here — same sail.
| Code | Sail | Location | Status | Tack Point | Halyard | Going? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| J1 | Full genoa | Main salon | 🟢 Packed and ready | Hydraulic tack w/white donut | J1 w/trigger lock, or Sec J1 | YES |
| J2 | Intermediate genoa | — | 🟡 Racing TBD ⚠️ | Hydraulic tack w/white donut | J1 w/trigger lock, or Sec J1 | TBD |
| J3 | Heavy jib / #3 | Main salon | 🟢 Packed and ready | Hydraulic tack w/white donut | J1 w/trigger lock, or Sec J1 | YES |
| J4 (grid: HvyW) | Heavy-weather jib (furling) | Main salon | 🟢 Furled | 3-to-1 tack using spliced-in furler adapter | J4 w/lock | YES |
Rated area: the cert rates one headsail at 564.6 ft² / 52.5 m² — it does not assign a separate area to each jib. J2 racing decision pending. If J2 does not race: J1→J3 is a bigger step — go to J3 earlier in 16–22 kt upwind. Tack note: J1/J2/J3 use a hydraulic tack with "white donut" stop — brief crew before race. J4 (HvyW) uses 3-to-1 mechanical tack with furler adapter and its own dedicated halyard.
Code Sails and Asymmetrics
All sprit-hoisted asymmetrics share the same tack point: Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle. A1-1 → A1.5-1 → A2-1 → A3 → A4 all peel from the same hardware — no tack point change. North Sails grid labels these A1 / A1.5 (grid A15) / A2 / A3 / A4.
| Code | Sail | Location | Status | Tack Point | Halyard | Going? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code 67 | Code 67 / reacher | Forepeak | 🟢 Furled (furling on sprit) | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using furler adapter | Mastheads (Port Spin w/lock preferred) | YES |
| A1-1 (grid: A1) | Light asymmetric | Forepeak | 🟢 Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
A1.5-1 (grid: A1.5/A15) |
Medium-light asymmetric | Forepeak | 🟢 Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| A2-1 (grid: A2) | Medium asymmetric | Forepeak | 🟡 Rolled, still rolled ⚠️ | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| A3 | Heavy asymmetric | Forepeak | 🟢 Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| A4 | Heavy running asymmetric | Forepeak | 🟢 Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| GS old | Gennaker (old, orange) | Forepeak | 🟢 Racing | Mid deck padeye | Staysail | YES |
| GS new | Gennaker (new) | — | 🔴 OFF BOAT ❌ | Mid deck padeye | Staysail | NO |
| SS | Spinnaker staysail | Forepeak | 🟢 Furled | Mid deck padeye | Sec J1 | YES (no pole — staysail) |
Rated area: the cert rates one asymmetric at 2113.2 ft² / 196.3 m². See the XML discrepancy note above — the XML's 495 m² per-kite figure is not used.
⚠️ Code-label reconciliation vs. the North Sails grid (carry both meanings; do not overwrite the operational facts):
- GS: the operational sail here is a gennaker (orange, mid-deck padeye, Staysail halyard). The North Sails crossover grid uses GS to mean a genoa staysail filling a light tight-reaching gap. These may be different sails under the same two letters — confirm with the sailmaker which physical sail the grid intends. Old GS (orange) is required: orange color meets visibility requirements; new GS is off the boat.
- SS = spinnaker staysail (mid-deck padeye, Sec J1 halyard) — not a symmetric spinnaker; the boat carries asyms only (ORR cert: asym, tack on centerline). It is an inner staysail flown low beneath the running asym (A2/A4) to fill the slot, and stands alone as the heavy-air deep-running sail when the big kites get unmanageable. The simplified .txt grid omits it, but the full North Sails chart shows an SS region (~140–165° TWA, ~14–24 kt) overlapping A2/A4.
⚠️ A2-1 must be unpacked and inspected before race week. It is the deep-running asymmetric (140–170° TWA), ~12–22 kt — not a reaching kite (reaching is Code 67 / A3). Code 67 is FURLING — can deploy/recover without a full foredeck peel. The pre-Stream "choose sail, hold it" protocol in the onboard cards still applies for squall preparedness.
Crossover Reference
The authoritative TWS × TWA → recommended-sail crossover (condensed from the North Sails Italia V3 EXP grid) lives in ../03_sail_crossovers/crossover_notes.md — maintained there so this inventory and the grid don't drift. Quick orientation:
- Close-hauled headsail ladder: J1 (4–8 kt) → J2 (10–18) → J3 (18–23) → J4/HvyW (20–30+).
- Newport-Bermuda primary off-wind REACHING sails (W-BH, 12–20 kt): Code 67 (80–120°), A1.5-1, A3. Deep running: A2-1, A4.
