Stardust used two different spinnakers in the race. Columbia River Ranger Fleet #4 Class Rules (2010) rule 5.4 states: " Each sloop is limited to one suit of sails. A suit of sails consists of one jib, one genoa, one mainsail and one spinnaker. Sails that are lost or damaged may be replaced. Only one of each class sail shall be carried on board during a race. Additional sails not used for class racing may be carried, but such extra sails shall not be available for use as spares or as alternative sails during a given one-design race."
