*Sunflower Sails:  Some (very few) older Sunflowers take the Super Snark sails (order above).  On those boats the spars (poles that sail mounts on) are equal in length.   But most Sunflowers take a larger sail, sold below.  On these boats, the nearly vertical spar is about 2 feet longer than the horizontal one. Compare your spars to know which sail to order.   If they are unequal, order one of these larger sails, also known as the 55 sq. ft. sail.     "Thank you so much for the prompt arrival of the sail - ordered it yesterday and it arrived less than 24 hours later!!! My dad was able to see my son sailing along Lake George before he left this afternoon. You are terrific. Thanks again, Lisa S."  August 2010

Mast & spar set sold separately- see below

These are all true, aerodynamic, shaped sails, which means they are cut and sewn to have the necessary camber (3-dimensional curvature) for creating aerodynamic lift.  They have sleeves for the boom and gaff and cutouts in the right places for tieing on the sheet and halyard and for the mast ring.   Get yourself going again with a new sail for your Snark! 

These sails are used on canoes, ice boats, inflatable boats, kayaks and dinghies, in addition to Snark styrofoam boats.

Interesting Facts About The Snark Sail Design

The Snark Sail is referred to as a "Lateen" style sail, which means the mast is short and the sail has another spar, called a gaff, which carries the peak of the sail up much higher than the top of the mast, with the gaff slightly angled so that the lower front corner of the sail is in front of the mast.   The Lateen style sail originates in ancient times and is stilled used all over the world, especially in India and the Arab world, on small boats.  These fishing and trading vessels often use rags and old grain sacks stitched together for sail cloth.    A Lateen sail can hold its own against a sloop rig of equal total sail area (sloop rigs have a jib and mainsail) in a race of otherwise equal boats and crews.  Don't believe what some say about jibs increasing the efficiency of the main.  So Snark and SailboatsToGo and other users of the Lateen sail plan are continuing a long and proud tradition in sailing. 

*Sunflower Sails:  Some older Sunflowers take the Super Snark sails.  On those boats the spars (poles that sail mounts on) are equal in length.   But most Sunflowers take a larger sail, sold below.  On these boats, the nearly vertical spar is about 2 feet longer than the horizontal one.
