Reply to: Adding a Spinnaker Need suggestions

Message body

[quote=nacraflyer]Thanks for the input so far.  I did speak with Dennis today about the SNU and was informed about the bend.  He suggested pulling the tip down 2".

This is mainly planned for the green 5.2 I just restored.  The spin was said to have been planned for a Hobie 16, so hopefully it will be a good fit for the 5.2.

My initial plan is to follow the F18 diagram on the Harken site, but figured many here would have suggestions that would be greatly beneficial.  My biggest concern at the moment is the fact that I put the bow foil on, which is going to cause things to sit lower.

I like the idea of drilling and then filling back up with epoxy.  Just wish I would have done before gel coating, but should be an easy job to cover up.

Dennis suggested putting a small tube through the bow and using 3mm Dyneema line for the bridle.

Looks like there is going to be lot of head scratching and planning.  I was hoping to have it ready for the trip to Lake Powell in 8 days, but it ain't going to happen.[/quote]
