Generally the Impulse26 is commonly sailed in light air conditions with a 145-150 genoa. Although some owners have opted for a 125-135 number two, with a flatly cut main, it can still be sailed in an overpowered configuration fairly easily. Once the conditions permit, a 100 jib will keep the boat pointing and manageable. | |||

The spinnaker on a ⅞ fractional rig can leave the boat underwhelming downwind in mild conditions. The helmsmen must be diligent of keeping the main sail trimmed correctly as it is still a substantial source of power. Having a smaller spinnaker and a large main is beneficial in fresh conditions as the spinnaker can be buried easily and the boat rapidly de-powers. | |||
