can you fly a cruising spinnaker on a 95 H26. I had my wonders when I saw that it does not use a backstay. Just curious, like I have said before I am close to buying one and would hate to give that up. Thanks

No problem

Plenty of boats fly spinnakers and have no backstay. The aft swept speaders and shrouds support the mast from moving forward.

Makes for fun

On my last boat we would come home wing on wing with a pole. My crew would take naps, read books or play cards. Nice relaxing way to finish the day. But with our new boat (H260) we fly the spinakker home and every body is as engaged. The race is on to match or exceed wind speed. Starting the rail BBQ is reserved for after we back in the slip.

Works fine

I have a 1995 26 Hunter. It came with a Gennaker and snuffer, works great. Go for it.
