If the seller follows through, I will have a spinnaker soon. Didn't get the asymmetrical style I referenced recently - but rather symmetrical. Came off a S2 24'. The dimensions are within a few inches of the Catalina spec.

So, now the questions begin about line diameters and lengths, hardware and so on . . . but that's what you are here for!

Any symmetrical spinnaker hardware pix will be appreciated.

Anyone ever create a combo spinnaker/whisker pole?

Spinnaker poles take much higher loads than whisker poles. You can use a spinnaker pole as a whisker pole, it'll be too short but work. You can't do the reverse.
