Cruising Spinnakers

I am looking to purchase either a new or used asymmetric (pole-less) cruising spinnaker for my Fast (Nicholson) 345. Her dimensions are I 43.6 / J 13 / P 37.4 / E 14.3 // I sail in the waters of Narragansett Bay, Block Island/Vineyard/Nantucket Sound, and Buzzards Bay. Any advice as to the luff length and cloth weight would be appreciated.

i use a second hand asymm from a j80 for my old 30 footer. seems that popular racing classes always have spare old sails. for u maybe something from a j92 i think.

I just bought a new asymm. from Airforce and am very happy with it. Compared to local lofts it was about 4-700 dollars less and came with an ATN sock.
