We have a baby stay on our C&C 32 and regularly use it going to weather in more than about 10 kts of wind as it helps bend the mast and therefore flatten the main. Ours is attached to a track on the deck and we can easily release it when off the wind of if the wind lightens. When jibing the chute I make sure it is at my back when I do the jibe which keeps it out of the way when attaching the pole to the mast. We occasionally use it in light air going down wind as a fraculator.

It did not hve a baby stay. I have a baby stay on my 35-3 and have used it once upwind into a sea. Otherwise it is clipped near the base of the mast.

Most of the 29's I have seen use a triradial cut 180% kite with pole and downhaul and most also do end for end jibes...very pretty boat and lots of fun when flying downwind -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com <javascript:;> ] On Behalf Of Pbbother via CnC-List Sent: July 19, 2014 11:10 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <javascript:;> Subject: Stus-List C&C 29-2 Spinnaker I am considering buying a C&C 29-2 (1983) and would like to know how/if a symmetrical spinnaker would work on these boats. I am looking at a boat nearby, but it only has a cruising asymmetrical spinnaker. My current boat is a J/24 and I am looking for something a little more comfortable but also performance oriented. Since I have a crew for racing on the J/24, we would also want to set a spinnaker on the C&C. The problem is the baby/inner stay that bisects the fore deck. Yes, I understand that we could disconnect it for the downwind leg, but that seems to be added complexity that I would rather avoid. The concern that I have is that the only photo of a symmetrical spinnaker I can find on the WEB is the original sales brochure. So, I am thinking its just a big hassle to fly a symmetrical on these boats.
