As with the large mainsails, spinnakers are also generally much larger for a given hull size than had previously been used. en.wikipedia.org

Since spinnakers are downwind sails, they are never tacked, they are only jibed. en.wikipedia.org

Sails set forward of the foremost mast are known generically as "headsails", and might include jibs, genoas and spinnakers. en.wikipedia.org

Asymmetric spinnakers operate more like a jib, generating lift from the side, rather than the top like a symmetric spinnaker. en.wikipedia.org
