Craig:
	The 'Spinnaker' is the correct sail for downwind.  I recommend
you get a copy of 'This is Down Wind Sailing' by John Oakely.
	There are two types of spinnakers, Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.
There several related types of sails such as Gennaker and UPS sails.
For UPS sails see that heading on the home page of:  www.rhodes22.org
	For more description of sails see the WEB sites of the major
sail manufacturers.  Are you looking for a new or used sail, that makes
a big difference in price.
	For more information see:

And there are many more, just search the web.

I am looking to buy a spiniker[spelling]for his boat.It will be a
surprise.[ hope he doesn't see this] not sure what to get, where to get
or
how, or anything.... Gentlemen, Stan has informed me ya'll have a wealth
of
knowledge. I have sailed this boat and it is the reason I returned to
the
water...prior adventures IN the water made it difficult to want to go
sailing ever again. you'll have to ask my dad about those "adventures".
I am
looking for something that I very eye appealing when set. I'm not sure
if
that makes sense. the reason I want this kind of sail is to speed up the
runs with the wind in ours backs... I'm not even sure if that is the
right
sail for that...? so fire away guys I've got my armor on[ for the
newbies]
