While digging through the cubbies in the bow of my H-30 I found a spinnaker in a sock that was purchased by the PO. How can I tell what kind of spinnaker (radial or asymmetric or other ) it is? I inspected it an it's in good shape and look to be little used. Probably about the same age of the boat which is 1983?

Check the luff lengths. If they are identical it's a symmetrical spinnaker. Also if one corner is marked "Clew" and the other "Tack" then you've got an asymmetrical.

if you need tips on rigging the boat to fly the spinnaker, I just posted some pics and description of getting my rigging installed on my site sailingit.com. I didn't have a halyard, rope clutch, or mast ring to attach a spinnaker pole to when I bought my boat. I've got everything done now except some control lines for the pole.
