Flying a spinnaker on a 23

[passagesfromtheheart]

Wondering if anyone out there has flown a kite on their 23 -- symmetrical or otherwise. Would love to hear about your experiences re: such endeavors! Thank you!

I fly an asymmetrical on occasion.  Very nice.  Helps to have crew although have done it by myself.  Also helps to have a dousing sock to deploy and retrieve.  I remember having some difficulty flying it with my main up but that could just be inexperience with the sail. I set it up with soft shackles made from climbing gear to mount the sheet blocks quickly.

Brackish -- WOW!!! I have goosebumps looking at those pics you posted -- absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you so much for sharing these and your set-up with the sail as well as your thoughts on sailing with it. I have a spinnaker for Charm, my 23, but it's as old as the hills and I'm not sure if it's in ship-shape condition. I may have a sail loft take a look at it. Truth be told, I'd rather an asymmetrical, if I had my druthers. Thanks, again, for sharing your experience with your asymmetrical!
