Cal 20 spinnaker

Cal sailors: My friend who owns the other Cal 20 here has been trying to sell it. The boat is on a good trailer and ought to travel well, if anybody is close enough to NW lower Michigan to make a purchase feasible. Let me know and I'll pass along contact info. I think his upset price is the value of the tax deduction for donating it to the local charity boat auction. But my real inquiry is about spinnakers. His boat came with 3 (!)--1/2 oz., 1 oz., and 1-1/2 oz. He's offered to sell me one (or more). My boat has spinnaker rigging but no sail or pole. Any suggestions on the most useful sail weight? My inclination is to go light, since I often sail single-handed and am not likely to be flying a spinnaker in a blow. And what's a fair price? Any notions of what's fair to seller and buyer? I don't mind fetching a bargain from a stranger but don't want to leave a bad taste in anybody's mouth when dealing with a friend. Chris Campbell

Chris, I would go with a 3/4 oz. for all around. It will take you from light air providing you lighten up your sheet and after guy. As the breeze fills in your can increase sheet size if needed. In San Pedro CA in the Summer time we get light air in morning and builds to about 18-24 afternoon till Sunset. The 3/4 oz. will hold up for most cituations Prior Cal 20 x 2 Mark. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Campbell To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 12:27 PM Subject: [Cal_Boats] Cal 20 spinnaker Cal sailors: My friend who owns the other Cal 20 here has been trying to sell it.

I am getting killed in our beer can races when the wind is light on the downwind legs because we race without a spinnaker. Anyway, and advice about a used spinnaker for my Lapworth-36. Price, size, style, where to get it, etc. I know nothing about the basics. From what I do know, an asymetric would be easier to sail but not solve my problem as my boat is not fast enough to use one. I have two spruce spinnaker poles. Advice appreciated.
