I've about got everything rigged on my M15 to fly a spinnaker, so now I'm looking for a spinnaker. Does anyone have suggestions of what will fit - What measuremnts should I look for - has anyone used one from another boat, like from a Thistle or a 420 or something else?

John- a 420 would be fine, I think, but a thistle would be way to big. I have an old chute off a 470, and it works pretty well except that it's just a bit too large. Any sailmaker should be able to make one off the sailplan, which I believe is in the archives. 200% is better than the usual 180 for the 15.

I've flown my Thistle spinnaker on Busca and it's about the right size for her with her masthead rig, luffs just a little short for the light air days. It might maybe possibly drag in the water on a 15...but if it didn't, it would be a cool sail to fly on those drifter days. Too much in a breeze for sure. An idea that Jay over of the oar club had was to take the biggest sym spinnaker you could fit on the boat, sew a low-stretch line down the center, then fly it either doubled over or wide open with a couple of poles. After I get my other projects done (hohohehe), I'd like to try that since I like to sail rather than motor in the light air.
