Typhoon poleless spinnaker

[Louise]

We are thinking about a poleless spinnaker for our 19' Typhoon. Does anyone have one?

sure do. asymmetrical spinnaker. have had it two years. works great. came with a downhaul and a swivel at the head. i added sheets and snaps and that was all that was needed. lead the downhaul through the block (if there is one there already as a jib downhaul) at the stemhead, lead the sheets through the turning blocks at the aft corners back to the genoa winches. it's a little tricky to jibe singelhanded, but it can be done if done slowly and deliberately. use the tang above the jib halyard exit for a block for the spinnaker halyard if it is not already there.

got mine from lithicum sails in NJ, but with measurements any sail loft can get it done for you.
