Hi everyone! I am sort of experienced with flying a spinnaker and the general set-up of one on a J-24. I own a catalina 22 that has never had a spinnaker and I am trying to rig one up. I would love to get details from someone who has already done this. I have aquired a spinnaker, a pole(including bridle) and an eye loop for the mast but that is it. I need to drop the mast and install a spinnaker halyard, I need to fix the eye-loop to the mast, rig up a pole lift and down haul as well as turning blocks for the sheet and guy. Questions: What hardware shouls I purchase? Size of blocks? Do I need any special hardware at the masthead?(the only line in the mast is the main halyard) How do I rig the pole up and down lines? Sure can use some help on these questions? If anyone has pictures that would be very helpful as well. Thanks in advance for your help Chris

There was an excellent series of articles in the Cat 22 National Sailing Assoc. magazine, MainBrace, a couple of issues ago. I believe the winter issue. Good pics and write-ups. Good luck.......Ray
