Spinniker set up Hunter 30

[Jeff Wright]

I am looking to set up my 81 Hunter 30 with a spinniker. I am unfamiliar with spiniker set ups , especially for this boat. Any ideas, what kind of block do i need on the mast head?, does the halyard go inside the mast or outside on blocks. What lenght pole do I need. How do i keep the spiniker halyard from fouling the roller furling ?Thanks

Two ideas

I'm surprised no one has answered your excellent questions. They're probably out sailing with their spinnaker.First, check the Forum Archives on this site by typing in the key word "spinnaker." There's a lot of advice to sift through.Second, ask around your marina for advice, since any happy sailor will be happy to show you his spin setup.

Ask your sailmaker

He will know the alternatives for flying his spinnaker on your boat. Don't have a sailmaker yet? Find one who will work with you on the whole question. Any good onewould come out and check out your boat for measurements and set-up.DavidLady Lillie'77 h27 with a new spinnaker last year
