Default A REAL Spinnaker

I dont use a spinnaker, just too complicated for a simple minded
person like me, but I have been wondering...

SO....Useless idea #3437

What would happen if you put up a very large helium filled balloon
several hundred ft where there is really good wind, say in the trade
winds and attached it to your deck? Could you steer?
