[C320-list] Rig C320 for Asyn Spinaker

[Timothy Osburn]

Dean,
Thanks, I think I'll give that a try. The boat came with a cruising
spinnaker but I haven't tried it yet because there wasn't any spin hardware
set up. I had to chuckle at the pic... I think "twang" is supposed to be
"twing".. but maybe he's from the south.
