Sail Inventory - Lupo Di Mare (ex-Querencia)
Source: Owner inventory spreadsheet (2026-05-16 photo) + North Sails chart (Austin Powers, 2025-04-30)
Color code from owner spreadsheet: GREEN = on boat, ready. YELLOW = on boat, status uncertain. RED = OFF BOAT.
Race Main
| Code | Sail | Location | Status | Tack Point | Halyard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Race Main | 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 |
Note: Storm Trysail location is listed as "Lazarette?" - confirm exact location before departure. For offshore safety, the crew must know where the trysail is stowed and how to hoist it.
Upwind / Headsails
| 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 | Heavy weather jib (furling) | Main salon | Furled | 3-to-1 tack using spliced-in furler adapter | J4 w/lock | YES |
⚠️ J2 racing decision is pending. If J2 races, the headsail progression is J1 → J2 → J3. If J2 does not race, the step is J1 → J3 directly — a bigger jump in 16–22 kts upwind. Confirm before departure.
Tack note: J1, J2, J3 use a hydraulic tack with a "white donut" stop. Crew must be briefed on this system before race. J4 uses a 3-to-1 mechanical tack with furler adapter.
J4 halyard: J4 has 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. This means A1-1 → A1.5-1 → A2-1 → A3 → A4 all peel from the same hardware - no tack point change between A-sail peels.
| Code | Sail | Location | Status | Tack Point | Halyard | Going? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code 65 | Code 65 / 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 | Light asymmetric | Forepeak | Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| A1.5-1 | Medium-light asymmetric | Forepeak | Packed and ready | Sprit, P/S 2-to-1 tack line using Tylaska shackle | Mastheads | YES |
| A2-1 | 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 | Symmetric spinnaker | Forepeak | Furled | Mid deck padeye | Sec J1 | TBD |
⚠️ A2-1 is "rolled, still rolled." This sail needs to be unpacked, flaked, and inspected before race week. A2-1 is a primary working sail for the W-BH reaching race at 14–22 kts. Do not arrive in Newport with this sail still rolled.
✅ Code 65 is FURLING. This is a significant routing advantage over a hanked-on code zero: the navigator can furl/unfurl the Code 65 inside the Gulf Stream without a full peel. The "choose before entry, hold through" protocol in the onboard cards still applies for squall preparedness, but the Code 65 can be deployed and recovered more quickly than previously assumed.
GS: The old GS (orange) is required and racing. The new GS is off the boat — the old one is carried because its orange color meets visibility requirements.
SS tack note: The symmetric uses the mid-deck padeye (same as GS), not the sprit. Confirm whether a pole is required for this sail or if it's flown from the padeye without a pole (flying-pole or sock setup?).
Crossover Summary - Revised With Actual Sail Codes
| Condition | Primary Sail | Actual code | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TWS 4–16, TWA 39–65° | Full genoa | J1 | Standard upwind |
| TWS 16–24, TWA 39–65° | Heavy jib | J3 | J2 racing TBD - if not racing, J1→J3 is a bigger jump |
| TWS 24+, any angle | Heavy weather jib | J4 | Dedicated J4 halyard |
| TWS 6–14, TWA 60–80° | Code 65 | Code 65 | FURLING - can deploy/recover quickly |
| TWS 8–14, TWA 70–130° | Light asymmetric | A1-1 | Same tack point as all other A-sails |
| TWS 10–18, TWA 80–140° | Med-light asymmetric | A1.5-1 | Same tack point - clean peel from A1-1 |
| TWS 14–22, TWA 80–150° | Medium asymmetric | A2-1 | Needs unpacking before race week |
| TWS 18–26, TWA 90–160° | Heavy asymmetric | A3 | Clean peel from A2-1 |
| TWS 22–30, TWA 110–165° | Heavy runner | A4 | Deep angles / planing conditions |
| TWS 18–30, TWA 130–175° | Symmetric | SS | Mid-deck padeye; confirm pole/setup |
Newport-Bermuda primary sails (W-BH analog, 12–20 kts, TWA 70–120°): Code 65, A1-1, A1.5-1, and A2-1 are the most likely working sails for the majority of the race. A2-1 must be unpacked and inspected immediately.

Questions Answered by Owner Spreadsheet (2026-05-16)
-
Code 65 - furling or hanked-on? → FURLING CONFIRMED (furler adapter on sprit). Navigator can deploy/furl without a full peel maneuver.
-
A1.5-1 - peel from A1-1, or different setup? → Same tack point and halyard system (sprit Tylaska shackle, mastheads). Clean peel - no tack hardware change required.
-
GS - type and status? → Two GS sails exist. GS new is OFF BOAT. GS old (orange) is racing — required because its orange color meets visibility requirements.
-
SS - pole required? → Uses mid-deck padeye and Sec J1 halyard. Confirm whether this requires a pole or is flown poleless (sock/sleeve setup?)
-
Storm jib? → J4 is the heavy weather jib with a dedicated J4 halyard. Storm Trysail is also listed (confirm location). Verify J4 satisfies offshore safety certificate storm jib requirement before departure.
-
Heavy weather plan? → J4 (furled, heavy weather jib) + reefs in main. Storm Trysail for extreme conditions. Full plan needs confirmation.
-
Sail ages and condition? → A2-1 is "rolled, still rolled" - needs immediate attention. All other A-sails are "packed and ready." GS old condition unknown. Sail ages not yet confirmed.
Outstanding Confirmations Required
- [ ] A2-1: unpack, flake, inspect for damage, re-pack before race week
- [ ] J4: confirm role as storm jib for offshore safety certificate compliance
- [ ] Storm Trysail: confirm exact stowage location and brief crew
- [ ] GS old: confirm on board and condition; decide racing or leaving ashore
- [ ] SS: confirm pole requirement or poleless setup
- [ ] All A-sails: confirm manufacture year for condition assessment
