Hunter 27 Branford
I'm looking at buying a Hunter 27 right now. One of the first things I'd like to do to the boat would be rig it for a spinnaker and obviously purchase one as well.

I'm wondering what the cost to rig the boat would be and if anyone has any suggestions for spinnakers.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That's pretty simple. You need a place to attach the tack (an anchor roller fitting or the like) forward of the jib tack, a spinnaker halyard and two blocks for the spinnaker sheets (usually) mounted on the forward section of the stern pulpit. And the spinnaker of course with sheets that are ~2x the length of your boat. It think I spent about $75 for the blocks, ~$135 for a halyard w/ shackle, $100 for sheets and $1100 for a new spinnaker which included an ATN sock and tack line. That's assuming you have a block or sheave on your mast for the halyard. If I had been patient, I could have found a used spinnaker for several hundred less and bought standard double braid for sheets and saved about 30% on those.
