Rigging a CD36 for Gennaker

Post by Steve Alarcon »

We are the happy new owners of CD36 SixPence, purchased from Bob Pence in May of this year. She is now named Tenacity, and lives in Seattle.

Included in the sail inventory is an essentially new Gennaker. I have never flown one, don't know how to rig one, and am unsure about how to come about with all that sail in the air. We have roller furling at the heads'l, and I don't see where to attach.

All opinions and lies will be considered!

Thanks

PS...We just sold our CD30 Temerity; she is going to good home and the new owner will undoubtedly be hitting this website in the near future.
