Have
you ever seen a Flasher on Lake Michigan? (No, we’re
not talking about the Chicago Scene…) Flasher is the
name for the cruising spinnaker manufactured by UK –Halsey
Sailmakers, so called because it makes downwind sailing so
fast and fun.
Mike Considine
tells everything you need to know to set, trim and douse a
spinnaker, and why sailors love them. Mike has been an avid
racer since childhood. He grew up at the family loft and was
a member of the sailing team while at the University of Wisconsin,
and has gone on to participate in races around the world.
In winter, Mike follows the sun to Mexico so he can race with
clients.
UK –Halsey
is one of the oldest custom sail makers in North America,
with over fifty lofts and service centers worldwide.
