I know that bloopers were optional original equipment on many of the boats.
It might be worthwhile for those interested in spinnakers to find out what the original design considerations were for the masts, to ensure that whatever sails you choose to fly don’t exert forces beyond what the masts were specified to handle.
My guess is that leaves a lot of latitude, but I don’t myself know the details.
