 Chapter 16 
"Spinnaker Handling"

A properly set and trimmed spinnaker makes a boat a pleasure to sail.  It adds speed, balances the boat, and lends excitement and beauty to downwind sailing.

This chapter covers proper setup, rigging, and sailing techniques for boats with conventional spinnakers, cruising spinnakers, and asymmetric spinnakers with bowsprits seen on multihulls and sport boats.
