[C38] Symetrical Spinnakers

Fri Aug 3 01:22:36 EDT 2012

Joe,

When I did my post I did the calculations so that the bowman assuming he
is six feet tall would be missed by the beam, our post is 10 tall and
mounted so the base is where the fuel line vent use to be.   If I
remember correctly the angle off the the radome for the beam is 2-2.5
degrees

we have another rigging issue.We let the idiot "rigger" for the local J
boat dealer install our radar. He put it on a post 6 feet above the
deck. We are afraid to use it for fear of radiation damage. Any
thoughts? Joe

	Jay are you using the external spin block or an internal one say
your spare jib haylard, that could be a problem.

always roller furl the jib when flying
