Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

Andrew, with all due respect your assessment may not be uninformed but it does sound un-expierienced. I understand your position... I mean how hard could it be to sail a spinnaker and if it's that hard then why do I want it. Though, it is an unconventional sail which unless it was properly

Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

I'd venture to guess that a regular kite would have worked equally well or better for your friend. I did a fair bit of research on them, inspected (but never flew) them, and talked to a lot of experts about the company's claims about their product. When I was working on an article on downwind

Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

Others have expressed their appreciation for an asymmetric spinnacker which I also echo. All of their points are valid, however you may find that the effort involved with setting the A-sym just isn't worth the mild improvement in speed/performance over an oversized headsail and whisker pole.

Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

Kevin, First, the elevation of the exit/block for the pole lift is not critical. +/- 2-4 feet should be OK. Second, many of the older models had a "donut" on the forward side of the mast for a pole lift exit. Simply a hole with a round metal washer-like fitting. My 35-1 has one of the donuts

Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

I will be prepping my mast next week and could take measurements. I doubt you would want to mount a normal block on the front of the mast if you are carrying an overlapping headsail. It will rub and maybe catch on every tack. The 30-1 factory spinnaker uphaul fitting was a feedthrough with less

Re: Stus-List spinnaker rig

I'm sure you are going to hear this many times but if you don't race why not go with an asymmetric spinnaker. No pole, no down haul and no lift. Much easier to fly and better for reaching in light wind. Jerry J Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 28, 2017, at 7:41 AM, Kevin Deluzio via CnC-List
