spinnaker for a Cal 29

I would like to buy a used asym spinaker for my Cal 29. Can anyone give me some advice on what size I should be looking for? Thanks.

I saw some recommendations somewhere that said luff at 90 to 100% of I and foot at 160-180% of J but that could have been my interpretation of what it said. The main point was it depended on what you wanted to do with it. There are some racing rules that limit size so you need to know that if you are going to race. Going down from that makes it easier to deal with. Disclaimer: I have never flows a spinnaker so don't listen to me.

You can go to FX sails and type in the CAL 29 and they will give you the size. Randy CAL 2-29 Out Patient Channel Islands Ca weststar0126 wrote: > > I would like to buy a used asym spinaker for my Cal 29. Can anyone give me some advice on what size I should be looking for? Thanks. >
