[alberg30] Spinnakers & drifters

[greg vandenberg]

From: greg vandenberg <fashionguy at ameritech.net>

Well the UK rep. stopped by and looked at the spinnaker. Sure enough... that
spinnaker was reshaped to be used as a cruising spinnaker. Not in the best way
but it works well for running and beam reaching. What was done was this... the
foot was tapered (material removed) by about 3 feet as you progress toward the
clue (new clue and reinforcing was the give-away). In effect shorting the
roach by that 3 ft. He said that the better way to do it would be to have cut
a pie shaped wedge from the belly of the sail.	Regarding the drifter... I felt
he was pushing towards a new cruising spinnaker and not a drifter. He said
that a new spinnaker (cut flat) would care me through about 70 degrees
apparent. In the end he was going to put a quote together on both the drifter
and a new cruising spinnaker. More later......
