[C320-list] Rigging a Spinnaker on the 320

[pat reynolds]

if you are raising it with a genoa halyard under the headstay you would have to jibe it thru the fore triangle.  if raising with a spinnaker halyard head more downwind and let it go foreward and pull it around the forestay.

I think your right.  We didn't didn't really try to do much with it .
  We were just happy to have all the parts we needed and that we were
able to get it up and flying correctly.  It's a very good looking
sail and now that I know how to set it I think it will come out of the
bag more often.
