Just one other thing for novice spinnaker handling, the philosophy of
gybing.
The chute does NOT come across the boat; the boat turns UNDER the chute.
Visualize the chute traveling pretty much straight down the course while
the boat turns port/starboard beneath it. If your driver and crew develop

Hi Andrew
There is a 33-3 beside us at our marina. Their baby stay is on a track and
they always have the baby stay at the mast side of the track and loose so that
it is not in the way for racing. Their pole is set up with a mast end and a
clew end so they always do dip pole gybes although o
Hi Andrew,
I went the same route few years ago on my 1987 33-2 (Offshore spar mast on this
vintage). First, you have a pole and a sym spin so you already have the « big $
items ». In my opinion you are on the good path.
When we bought our boat we had no free flying sails. A good friend had an a
The local Schock 35's use a dip pole, it doesn't seem that difficult.
That Baby Stay was the Bane of my Sym Spinnaker days - I am thinking, if
this is a 33-2, you may have forward lower stays?
If so, you should be able to pull enough prebend into your spar to not

My 34 came spinnaker equipped.
No matter what, the baby stay MUST be released and stowed back to the mast to

sailmaker had a look and decided that
