Greetings,

Have just acquired the boat described. It came with two different sized
spinnakers and two spinnaker booms, both of different length. Now I have
sailed full sized boats but never with spinnakers, and I am just getting to
grips with vane sailing (which keeps you fit!). How do I sail the
spinnakers???

This is a beautiful yacht, hand made in wood and over 40 years old, yet with
a deep keel bulb.

As always, a virtual pint for the first correct link/answer.

Ta
