Hunter 23.5 owner's manual says you can fly a Spinnaker. Wondering if there's more stress on the rigging flying a asymmetrical Spinnaker. No back stay on these boats. So if it can handle a Spinnaker can it handle an asymmetrical Spinnaker?
Spinnaker versus asymmetrical
- Thread starter MikeyJ

Since you have a fractional rig flying a spinnaker will not interfere with your jib halyard. You have the option of a cruising spinnaker and asymmetrical spinnaker. The asymmetric spinnaker does not require a pole as such and therefore requires no pole up, pole down or guys to trim it. If you have a separate spinnaker halyard then rigging one will be easier.

Can anyone help with some pictures of the factory installed spinnaker gear set up. Particularly the forestay and how they installed the spinnaker halyard block and what block to use. Also anything on the lines, turning blocks and sheet stopper. What size spinnaker pole? Mast eye connection.
