Replying to: Buying a spinnaker I am looking to set up a spinnaker for an old 125 that I bought to help my 10 year daughter learn to sail. It did not have a spinnaker. She has done well and is very comfortable sailing and loves the trapeze. If she get serious about sailing and wants to race then we might buy a better boat and I will give up racing in a friend's 33 foot yacht. For now I want something that does not cost too much. Where would be the best place to buy a spinnaker and pole. Are there any guides about setting up a spinnaker system? i.e. rope lengths etc. I am only familiar with setups on bigger boats. A old second hand one would be fine but I would consider new if the cost is not too much. I am in Melbourne. I have put an ad in the classifieds section also. Any help would be appreciated.
