G'day fellow E boat owners, I am new to this group being that I recently purchased a 1986 38-200 here in Bermuda.
I would like to ask about any information or experiences that other owners have had with regularly using asymmetrical spinnakers, for ex. bowsprit, is it a must, if so where could I purchase one of these - $? if not, what is would be the set up for the tack? A sock, a necessity to make flying and retrieving easier or more difficult? What size asymmetrical spinnaker, weight for light to medium airs 0.75oz?
I am seriously considering a asymmetrical spinnaker (Genniker more for reaching) but I would like to hear more about other owners experiences and or advice, specifically on hardware and boat set up.
places to purchase decent used sails and or bowsprit and other associated hardware on the East coast USA.
Look forward to informative replies or any banter that may have been experienced, both good practices and mistakes all pertinent comments welcomed.
Cheerio, from 'Merrimist' in sunny Bermuda.
Ps. On a separate question, what size anchor CQR (plough) and length of chain would be best recommended for my E 38-200?
