What is another word for spinnaker?
Pronunciation: [spˈɪne͡ɪkə] (IPA) 
Spinnaker, a triangular sail used for sailing downwind, has various synonyms that include kite, drifter, balloon jib, chute, and gennaker. The term "kite" is often used to refer to spinnakers because of their resemblance to a kite flying in the sky. The name "drifter" refers to a lightweight and a comparatively larger sail than the standard spinnaker, which is used to catch light airs. Balloon jib, another synonym for spinnaker, also implies a lighter, easily inflated sail in comparison to the regular jibs. "Chute" and "gennaker" are the sail's other synonymous names, with the latter being a relatively recent notation in the racing world.
