+1 for the ATN tacker. Works really well without any need for modifications to the boat. I used it extensively on my old C&C 24.

I also use a sleeve to douse the chute. The sleeve gives me more certainty of control, but it is too slow a process for racing round the buoys. There are rarely more than 2 people on the boat, and usually I am single handing.

So a question: I purchased a new asymmetrical cruising chute last year. Of you experts out there with cruisin' chutes...what is your arrangement for securing the tack at the bow of the boat? Years ago, with hank-on sails, wire forestay and a downhaul with single snapshackle to forestay, I could attach the chute to the forestay easily, and actually tack with the chute going under the forestay (old Columbia 26-2). I have seen the tacking sleeve used on some boats, and certainly have a regular and whisker poles, but are there other creative ways to attach and rig a cruising chute on a 35-3 or others? Thanks in advance for keeping my spring hallucinations going... Chuck Saur Morning Sky C&C 35-3 Hessel, MI
