What is the Camber Spar™ jib?

A. The Camber Spar™ is a device developed over 20 years ago by a sail maker to answer the need to have a way to control sail shape of self-tacking jibs. Think of it as one half of a wishbone boom seen on windsurfers, but inside the sail. When combined with full battens the Camber Spar™ provides a sail that is quiet, holds its shape in all wind angles and ranges, and self-tacks. It can even allow you to sail wing on wing without a whisker pole.
