CD30 spinaker
Has anyone flown a spinnaker on a CD30C? Where is the block attached at the top of the mast?

You need a masthead spinnaker bail installed, which provides a mounting point forward of the masthead to attach the spinnaker block.

I fly a symmetrical spinnaker on my 31 with no problems.

I added the bail to the masthead early on, along with a block and halyard. My boat came with a reacher and I have no idea how they flew the thing or if they ever did, without the bail.
I also have a symmetrical spinnaker, I have played with a few times.
I added pad eyes just forward of the stern rail for turning blocks. Before I did that, I would tie a short loop of webbing into the stern cleats.
You are going to love running off the wind, Steve.

I used this one. We have the CD-4 mast extrusion.
Masthead Spinnaker Bail: SP-083-1:
Heavy 5/16" SS bail is welded to a 2 1/4" x 1 7/8" flat plate which attaches to the top of the masthead with (4) 1/4" RH machine screws. Screw hole spacing (to centers) is 1 1/2" fore and aft x 3/4" wide. Bail is angled downward and projects 1 1/2" forward of plate. Mounting in most Pearson and Spartan applications requires drilling & tapping (4) 1/4-20 holes. As used on Spartan CD-3.5 and CD-4 Masthead Assemblies, and many Pearson Mastheads. See also, Double Masthead Spinnaker Bail, SP-083-1D, below.

Drill, tap, bolt in place and you are good to go at the masthead, Steve.
