Title: asymmetric spinnaker measurements
Post by: adschmid on January 13, 2010, 02:02:29 PM
Can someone provide the measurements of an asymmetric spinnaker that they 'like' using on their cp-16? I have the original model, no bowsprit, 1984 model. Thanks, Adam

Thanks for posting this request Adam.  I have had the same notion bouncing around in my empty noggin since last fall.  Let us know what you end up ordering (i.e. I am lazy and perfectly willing to let you do all the work of sourcing) and I may follow your lead.  My 16 is an '84 as well.

Keep us posted.
Mike

Mine has an 8' foot and 12' luff.  It powers the boat nicely but could probably stand to be a bit larger.  You can see some pics of it here from when I built my rig.

Keep in mind, my mast in the pictures is only 13 1/2 feet tall from the deck, but I've flown the spinnaker with the original mast and there was no noticeable difference in performance.
