I recently bought an asymetrical sail (which I think is the same thing as a gennaker), including sock for under $1000 from National Sails Supply ( www.nationalsail.com) and am very pleased with it. (I haven't used it that much, so I don't know how it would hold up over time). The sock makes it easy for one person to deploy it and bring it in, but I would recommend that you have some help the first few times you use it. My wife was a little worried for a while that she would see me out there parasailing a few times before I got the hang of it. You can't sail dead down wind very well with an A-sail. A regular spinnaker is best for that. But a spinnaker is harder for one person to handle, and things can get pretty hairy.
