Spinnaker Rigging

[Lew Thatcher]

Has anyone set-up a spinnaker rig for a new 320?Need info on how high to mount pole lift on mast? Internal or external block on mast? Where did you mount the pole downhaul (foreguy) on the deck and where does it lead to? Also, where and how did you mount the aft turning blocks for the sheet and guy?Thanks, Lew

?

Joe,That's not a very helpful or thoughtful answer to the quesiton. If you really belive that's the right approach, why don't you just reply to every single question you see here that way? On second thought, why do you bother reading this site at all if you feel that way?

chill out john....

I think Joe's suggestion will probably help Lew very much. I think your response was cynical and helped no one...... tsk, tsk. Joe simply offered a valid resource that could answer Lew's specific request for a specific boat. Now Lew will be more informed on this and many other issues that pertain to his boat. Even though Lew's questions can be answered generically by many of the forum's "experts" it appears that he is looking for specific model recommendations, maybe even a mentor to help with other other projects.

Yes

I think you're right, I should relax a bit, sorry about that.jv

Sailnet List

Hey John, I own a C320 which I bought September 2001 and though I like both these lists there is certain info that an Owner can tell you in a second. I couldn't figure out how to pump the shower sump, so I asked the Owners and had my answer within 5 minutes. Yeah, it was the switch located under the vanity sink, a Hunter owner could not have told me that.Both lists are valid and have their purpose. I was just inviting a new C320 owner to join another list that might benefit him. Besides I don't know crap about flying a Spinnaker!
