[C320-list] Rigging a Spinnaker on the 320

[Jason Alexander]

So we got it up and filled.  It's actually really easy.  I hooked the blocks for the sheets to the stern cleats.   Then I hooked the block for the tack line to the anchor pulpit.   With the ATN it's very easy to set and drop the sail.   I just need to figure out how to tack it.   The thing is huge.
