We sail our '79 382 on the west coast of Florida in a lot of
light air. I've decided I need a cruising spinnaker. I've never
used one and would appreciate anything you might be able to tell
me. Our boat has some spinnaker gear (pole, mast track, a block
out on the end of the anchor roller) but no turning blocks aft
for sheets. If any of you use an asymmetrical, I'd like to know
how it's all set up. Also, cloth weights, construction type,
sailmakers to use or avoid, etc.
