[C320-list] back to spinnaker questions, please

[DianeFlr at aol.com]

OK, I borrowed a spinnaker    (approx.  40'   X  24??)    & HOPE it fits?   
What size do we  need to race?  regular symetrical spinnaker...    My local 
 sailmaker said 43' leaches & 22.19' midgirth?
 
does it have to be exactly this size??   Your thoughts?
 
and what SIZE POLE do I need?    Does  anyone have 1 they would sell me??
 
Windy City is getting a new bottom right now; so she is pretty and FAST for 
 this season's race course!

Thanks  Dick,

That is essentially what I was doing at my previous marina.  Unfortunately, 
my new marina wants a continuous, uninterrupted cable.  I  need a min of 
60', so I was thinking that I could buy a 75' cable and cut it  down, or make 
up a new 60' cord by buying the bare cable and installing  waterproof plug 
ends on it.  Not hard to do, but the bare yellow jacket 3  wire cable only 
costs are about $10/LF at WM. Cost prohibitive. So, I thought  that I would 
try to find a longer than ' cord and just cut it down to what I  need. 

Thanks for the advice 

Dave
