I would strongly advise anyone towards a Code Zero. You'll never want to
sail again without it. It is expensive though initially for the setup as
you'll need a continuous line furling unit and either a bowsprit or tack
fitting that clears the pulpit. The plus is the furling unit can easily
attach to any other sail that is appropriate. I went with a Facnor as they
have the longest track record with these but there are many highly rated
others making them now.
I bought my Code Zero from China directly after confirming the curves and
specs they produced prior to cutting cloth. After all -the China lofts
build almost every US sailmakers sails now. I paid about half any US
quotes. Same with my assym. I'd be hesitant though to buy a mainsail or my
genoa from China. Just too fiddly with the draft and many other points
where you'd want your sailmaker to make adjustments.
The Starzinger article is almost spot on. They -like me prefer not to run
the diesel if at all possible. Why burn diesel when you can run an assym or
code zero? That's why it's called sailing. I don't agree with them re. the
assymmetrical as a hassle. I launch and douse it easily and prefer it over
the main and headsail on a pole setup. I even run it at night within reason.

What material and weight did you go with on your Code Zero from China? Just
wondering about the practical tradeoffs between weight, durability, and
efficiency as there seems to be endless options out there. This will be a
cruising setup for us...not for racing.
Thanks,
Ross

If you are able to strip off the HP fuel pump, you will be doing some
Nanni owner a huge favor in the future.
