We would like to thank all the people who responded to our request for
information on installing and flying the spinnaker on our 36’ freedom

Simonds at our dock we finally tested it on Sunday.We had our friend ,
in a Nonsuch 33 ’ standing by to take photo’s and WOW did we fly.Well
worth all the effort, thanks again to ALL the people that responded.

Ain’t it grand? We sailed in a local race this weekend and passed 2 boats
on the downwind leg, one a Pearson 39 flying an asymmetrical. We were
experimenting with wind angle the day before the race and could just about
keep the sail full on a beam reach. We find best performance on a broad
reach. It reminds me of Ron Popeil’s “set it and forget it”.
