: Anyone out there flying an assymetrical spinnaker on a Glen-L 14? I'm interested in doing it and wonder if it would be sheer folly.
:Since the GL14 has no backstay,just shrouds and a forstay, the pressure may pull the mast off forward. Also a downhaul block required at the bow,forward of the headstay for the tack. 2nd halyard pully and turning blocks for the sheets.Jibing would be fun! If you try this project I would like to hear about it.
