Hi Gary, My gennaker came with the boat when I bought it. It's basically a huge light air genoa, very colorful, and lightweight. The tack attaches at the bow, the head at the top of the mast by the jib halyard. There are no jib hanks on it. From there you can just wing it out with a spinnaker pole. It's quite pretty when it's up and useful in light air. It was made by Waagmeester Sails out of Portland, Oregon. They have it labeled as a cruisaker on the bag, but I've dubbed it my gennaker since I have never heard of a cruisaker. My best guess is that it's about 120 sq ft in area. Regards, Ian
