Jibs and genoa’s are used in tandem with a mainsail to stabilize the vessel and are usually measured by their Luff Perpendicular percentage, that is, how much area within the fore-triangle they use. Typically they run from the head of the foremast to the bowsprit. Jibs and Genoas are triangular sails which are affixed to a stay in front of the mast.

These inspirational sailors put hours on their sails in remote locations and put their trust in Precision Sails. Sailing for a living requires sails that work. In a 1990 owner-review in Cruising World, Ginny Walters described the boat as having, "traditional lines, up-to-date comforts, pilothouse weather protection, easy towing, easy launching, slid and seaworthy.Trusted by YouTube’s Largest Sailing Channels Worst features: Her bottom is nearly flat and has hard bilges, so she tends to pound moderately in a chop." She is well finished, with plenty of bronze hardware. She steers well even with the rudder in the 'folded' position. Best features: The pilothouse has two steering stations, one in the cockpit with a tiller, and the other below with a wheel. The yawl in the sailplan, also available as a sloop, was available either as a centerboarder (dimensions above) or as a shoal keeler with a 2' 6" draft. Mast and all can be pulled out like a weed and stored on deck when not in use-or the sail can just be furled in place by wrapping around its tiny mast. One thing we especially liked is the optional mizzen mast with a 31-square foot sprit-rigged balancing sail. In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Ted Brewer has done a good job of creating a traditional-looking but trailerable character boat that has some good things going for it. The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 249 and a hull speed of 6.5 kn (12.0 km/h). The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin. The boat is normally fitted with a small well-mounted 4 to 6 hp (3 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The pilothouse model was later developed into the Arctic 25 and the Kodiak 26. The design was produced in a number of different versions, including a "tropical" model with opening bronze ports and a solar vent, an "offshore" model with 200 lb (91 kg) additional ballast in a lead shoe and a "pilothouse" model with a pilothouse and wheel steering that provided greater headroom below decks. The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 2.5 ft (0.76 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.17 ft (1.27 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.33 ft (0.41 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. It has a fractional sloop rig or optional yawl rig, a canoe hull, a plumb stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller or a wheel and a fixed stub keel keel with a retractable centerboard or an optional fixed keel. The Nimble 25 Arctic is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The design was built by Nimble Boats in the United States from 1988 until 1993, but it is now out of production.
