Spinnaker? Light air. The boat is pretty tough. I would be you will capsize before damaging it. |

Depends on the sail cut and whether it fits the boat correctly. Optimized spinnakers can be used closer to the wind (closer to 90 degrees wind angle). Most spinnaker use is down wind to 45 degrees from straight down wind. Wind speed? 12-15 knots is the upper end for comfortable use. |
