    I have a 12' AMF Puffer sailboat that has recently been given to me. My dad and I named the boat the BlueBird and with both our love for spinnakers thought it would be appropriate to find a small blue or blue and white spinnaker for the boat. If anyone knows of any good companies that make small spinnakers or anywhere to look for used ones it would be greatly appreciated. Also any advice on what type of spinnaker to buy would be great.

    Most any sailmaker could do the job. e-mail me at lorsail@webtv.net and I'll give you the name of a sailmaker in Cocoa Fl. who is a specialist in small (makes sails for large rc spinnaker boats 4-5' hoist asy or sym.)and large spinnakers. There is also a kayak builder in the Pacific Northwest that offers small spinnakers-can't think of the name-sorry.
    I would think an asymetrical with small fixed bow pole might be good.

    I believe Storch Sails in Vancouver, Canada, make a small spinnaker.
