Looking to fill out the original sail plan to my restored 21 SC and am wondering from current sailors actually using the gennaker if the the sail is a significant addition to the main and jib. The cost is not small but not too huge either. Still would rather save my money and effort if that head sail is rarely used or useful. Whirlwind usually does 15% off sail orders this time of year and it's winter project time...

I have a spare spinnaker that I use once on my Buddies 21SC that I don't need. It is too tall for my 16 and too short for my 21SE.

It is in great condition , white with a light blue stripe from Gleason with tramp bag.

Thank you Matt, once again to the rescue. I'll contact Whirlwind. Would you stay with a wire luff or go with the new low stretch line??
Sounds like Bill's option is a spinnaker and my boat is not set up for that.
