From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1983 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Force 5, hold the square The wind filling these large, colorful sails could well win, before the winner of the race arrives.

From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Raised proudly at the prow of a sailing yacht, the majestic spinnaker is synonymous with speed, capturing the wind and propelling the vessel forward in a stunning display that never fails to inspire a shiver of freedom. In France, the first sailing regattas were organized in 1840, but it was another forty years before the spinnaker brought its own frisson to the sport. A precious ally in a strong tailwind, the triangular spinnaker is made from ultra-lightweight fabric with a deeply curved surface that swells magnificently and lends itself to stunning, brightly-coloured designs. The wind blows, the sea whitens, and the spinnakers are unleashed like a flock of hot-air balloons. Hurrah for sporting spectacle and speed - and may the best sail win!
