Spinnaker rigging

[Mark]

I'd like to hear from some H22 owners how you've done your rigging for a spinnaker. Pictures will be apreciated as well. Thanks in advance, Mark

Try this

I ran a spin halyard through the second halyard on the mast, forward. I placed a block on the toe rail all the way to the stern on either side of the boat to trim the sheets from. I placed a pole topping lift just below the spreaders on the mast and a down haul about middle of the bow. On the mast I put a spin pole ring at about shoulder high. I priced some of the prefab spin poles and chose to make my own out of 1 1/2" aluminum tubing and just add the 1 1/2" pole ends you can get from west marine. This set up has worked real well, beats running with a wing and wing in light air. I'm not real good with the computer so I don't know how to post photos. I hope this helps if you need me to go do measurements I can over the weekend, I did all this two years ago so I don't remember the exact measurements.

Here’s an easy-to-make bowsprit, seats in the anchor locker.This will throw the spin ahead of the main, less blanketing.Tack line and 2 sheets permanently deployed for quick setup.(Note that the link here has 2 pages of pix and directions.)
