I like to install a complete spinnaker gear with spinnaker boom, downhaul,topping lift, etc.in my H260. I need the layout. Thanks Capitan

Are you sure you want one?

Are you sure you don't want an MPS or cruising spinaker instead? They are more versitile and a lot less work and new gear.

Hunter owners manual should give details.

My owners manual gave all layout dimensions. Specifically you'll need to install topping lift and spinnaker halyard sheaves and exit plates in the mast, turning blocks at the base of the mast, and a rope clutch near the winches. Of course you'll have to install blocks at the stern rail, a spinnaker pole eye on the mast and a downhaul block for the pole. I would also recommend getting some type of device to store the pole on deck. Sounds complicated . . .but I first bought an asymetrical and then a triradial symetrical spinnaker. It is more work but I find it more useful in true dead-on downwind situations. If I were going to use the spinnaker for long broad reaches the asymetrical would be fine . . .it works like a huge genoa. Call Hunter if you need a maunal page. Good luck!
