Sorry about that double post and HTML code; computer belch in web-mail. Should read: Bill, looking here http://www.msog.org/trippics/johnharris/first_sail.cfm may give you some thoughts. I've not used this myself on my (formerly John Harris') M-15, and can't say how it might be arranged on an M-17. John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" tynerjr@md.metrocast.net wrote:

M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" On Fri 07/30/10 9:51 AM , Bill Wickett billwick@gmail.com sent: Julie and I had a short cruise last weekend on the west end of Lake Ontario. 3 nights out. 2 in marinas, 1 at anchor. 35nm total distance. Quite bit of light air, especially on Monday. Got me thinking about options to use in place of my genoa for reaching. I looked throught the list archives and saw suggestions for symettrical, asymettrical, drifters, reachers. Are drifters and reachers really just another term for an asymettrical spinnaker? I am thinking of something with a wire luff to allow it to fly forward of the forestay. Maybe a 12-18" pennant from the stem head. Has anyone used the top of the bow pulpit? I don't think it would be an off the shelf item. Can anyone offer suggestions or experience with this type of sail on their M17? What would be the suggested square footage? Thanks Bill M17 #623 Makin' Time _______________________________________________
