Where can I find plans or ideas of how to construct a spinnaker bowsprit for my '01 250? Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Check out the Tech Tips section. Lots of good ideas. Here's the link that shows photos of exactly what you're talking about.

The frames structure of the site makes it tougher to create links by copying the url. Now you need to right click and copy the url from the properties.

I just constructed a bowsprit with 4' of 2 1/2" PVC, a block, and 3 lines running back to the pulpit and the lower bow ring. Cost less than 10 bucks and qualifies my 26' LOA C-250 for a 30' LOA slip!
Thanks for the tip, Bill.
