FWIW, I too have caught spin halyards in the furling genoa. I learned from someone else, to flip the spin halyards behind the spreaders and avoid that problem. I keep a small loop of line run through my shroud turnbuckles for the spin snapschackles and clip them there, one on each side and snug them up by hand on their clutches. It's part of my prep before leaving the dock before going sailing. The spin halyards lay on the upper part of V1 and I usually keep the spin halyards that way until I prep to leave the boat, when I clip them to the pulpit so they don't slap the mast or chafe on the rig. It works well.
