Cruising Spinnaker

I think a cruising spinnaker is going to be my next little add on. So much of the time during the warmer months in the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands the wind is near nothing, especially during slack tide. having a light wind sail would be a great addition to any boat sailing locally in the northwest areas of Washington.

although I don't think I would try it in our chilly waters, this looks like a blast....

I don't think using a spinnaker pole would be feasable as we are usually sailing short handed, and just cruising, not racing, so our goal is minimize effort, maximize fun. this kit has a Tacker that wraps around a furled genny and should do the trick..

A short post this week but a fun one none the less.

oh yeah,, our mermaid :)
