It's not a problem but I think it will be more effort and more powerful than the J24 but maybe not as fast as the J24. Most of the 29's I have seen use a triradial cut 180% kite with pole and downhaul and most also do end for end jibes...very pretty boat and lots of fun when flying downwind

I am looking at a boat nearby, but it only has a cruising asymmetrical spinnaker. My current boat is a J/24 and I am looking for something a little more comfortable but also performance oriented. Since I have a crew for racing on the J/24, we would also want to set a spinnaker on the C&C. The problem is the baby/inner stay that bisects the fore deck. Yes, I understand that we could disconnect it for the downwind leg, but that seems to be added complexity that I would rather avoid. The concern that I have is that the only photo of a symmetrical spinnaker I can find on the WEB is the original sales brochure. So, I am thinking its just a big hassle to fly a symmetrical on these boats. Any thoughts? -Ken _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: [email protected] To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com ----- No virus found in this message.
