APR 100 Spin

Post by cercole »

Hello All,
Our boat came with a Doyle spin. On the bag it says APR 100. Any idea what this means? Is it different from a regular class spin? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Christopher,

APR 100 is Doyle's nomenclature for "Asymmetrical Performance Racer". Check the old Doyle Florida website at this link:
http://www.doyleflorida.com/
  • mouse over Doyle Sails on the menu
  • click on Racing
  • click on Spinnakers

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the link. That all makes sense. I was wondering if the APR 100 meant it was more of an A1 sail than an A2. Looks like it's an A2, which seems about right. Though I don't seem to be able to go as low as the other 109 in our club. Maybe the sail is just really old.

Thanks again.
