[C320-list] spinnaker question

[Wes.Giles at averydennison.com]

Bruce,

I think you'll find a fairly good number of folks that have a crane 
installed. Gerry Douglas recommended it during our factory tour at the MDR 
mtg if you recall. It won't affect performance, but you see chafe after a 
few times using it.

Bruce,

I was told by a reliable source that I should install a crane, so I 
installed it prior to buying my asym spinnaker. I can't comment on how 
well the asym flies without the crane.

Here's a link to pictures of the crane and associated parts on the C320 
site. I purchased the crane from RigRite. I'm not totally satisfied with 
their product (see the second link). If you find another source please let 
me know.

  Those of you who fly an asymmetrical, do you have any issues with the
  spinnaker halyard dragging on the jib halyard at the top of the mast or 
have
  you done something to avoid potential problems (crane, external halyard, 
or
  etc.)?
