I have a 2000 Catalina 250 which came with a spinnaker, sheets, and a bag of hardware. Does anyone know where the hardware is installed and are there any directions that anyone can provide as to how this spinnaker is flown?

I don't have a poleless spinnaker but I do have a drifter. The blocks are mounted to the stanchions under the stern rail seats.

Hi, Bryan

I'm not sure what a drifter is. I think what I have is a gennaker which is like a large genoa but it has never been used so I can't even ask the previous owners. I'm not even sure that it came from Catalina.

Here is a picture of a Drifter. It works like a head sail mine is a 155%

If its a drifter/reacher then here are some pics that may help.

Hi, Bryan

I think that that is exactly what I have. The pictures are terrific. I think I can take it from here.

Thanks again and great sailing!
