Spin for an older SC17

Post by whalerman »

So I have a 17 from the mid 80's. It has a nice Aquarius Sail tramp, pin top main and a jib. How do I put a spin on this? I would be willing to ditch the jib if I could put a spin on it. I also, think using a spin from a newer SC 17 would be too much sail. I will not race this boat, but I am interested in using a spin. How to proceed from here?

I usually start with calling the factory! I decided to not try and 'reinvent the wheel' on the SC20 project I just finished. Made things go much easier.

If you do decide to try and do it yourself, I have many spinnaker system parts for sale. Check your p.m.'s, I'll send you the details.
