Spinnaker
Roger: Basics for spinnaker operation can be found in various books on sails....Most any of them are good, just pick one and look under spinnakers.....You don't mention if you are using an asymmetrical or symmetrical chute....The symmetrical is more difficult and has less room for error....If you are in light airs I would recommend using very light weight sheets....This allows for the best control and doesn't weigh down the clews....For a direct answer to you question try Tom Whidden's "The Art and Science of Sails".
