 Yes, Rule 15D allows jib and spinnaker at the same time, but it has to
be one of the three jibs named by rules 12-14, all which must be on the
forestay.  15D means you don't have to douse your jib before you hoist
the chute, and you can raise your jib early while you are still flying
the chute.

Maybe some original Chesapeake Bay Albergers can tell us why the
spinnaker staysail was precluded?

Mike :
     Have the rules been changed so that no head sail can fly with a 
spinnaker?  As of 2010,  Chesapeake race rule  (15D) specifically does 
not allow spinnaker stay sails, but  'any allowed headsail may be flown 
with the spinnaker'. Since the working jib has a luff of 30', that might

make the difficulties Gord has encountered with a chute and staysail 
even greater.
     Rule 14 D within the Canadian rules does allow spinnaker staysails.

     At the same time, there may have been  some very different ideas by

Aberg. It is my understanding that theAL30 was originally a fractional 
rig design and  it was Kurt Hansen who changed the forestay based on his

experience with Folkboats in Humber Bay at Toronto (light air and heavy 
boats). Undoubtedly the headsail sizes changed then too.
     Gord may wish to comment on the differences in designed rig between

a European and WBW Folkboat.
