IMHO, the most 'practical' is an asymmetrical spinnaker. You'll need a spinnaker halyard and a sheet block near each stern corner; 2 sheets ~ 50' each and a short tack line to attach the spinnaker tack to the bow a couple of feet off the deck. Oh, and the spinnaker with sock and tack line. Your boat may already have the blocks near the stern and a block at the masthead for the spinnaker halyard. Check this link out as it will help explain how one is flown.
