Blue Water Runner
Elvstrøm Sails’ Blue Water Runner performs the role of three sails in one. Designed as effectively two Yankee sails on a single luff cable, it works as a light up-wind genoa, a reaching ‘Yankee’ when the two-ply sails are together. When running dead-downwind it can be peeled open into ‘goose-winging’ mode, doubling the sail area to increase boat speed. It can be trimmed and poled out like a spinnaker, or used without a pole. The Blue Water Runner is the creation of Jeremy White, Elvstrøm Sails UK Loft Manager, in response to customers asking for a downwind sail that gave the thrill of surfing downwind offshore, and is easy to control and stow quickly when wind conditions changed. His vision was a sail for blue water cruising and family sailors who want to sail downwind, for days on end if needed, giving speed, stability and safety.
