DESCRIPTION

Choosing the right Lewmar Genoa Lead Car System is important to make trimming your genoa easy. A Genoa is a large jib or foresail whose foot extends aft of the mast, and used mainly on racing yachts. The genoa and jib leads that are adjusted under load let you fine-tune your sail shape to maximize performance. The right amount of purchase makes it easy to trim the car by hand even under load.
