Anyone got any ideas about how one could fit a spinnaker on a Heron? I've heard the rigging of a Heron is very similar to a Mirror so could potentially use a Mirror chute. Just leaves how to hoist, sheet fixing (additional cleats needed?) etc. Advice much appreciated

Hi Steve, there's an information sheet on fitting and using a spinnaker, you can download it by clicking on the "technical" tab, then "information sheets". I think you have to be a current member of the association, and be logged on, to access this area.

Thanks, I've downloaded all three PDFs related to spinnakers, now for some bed-time reading.
