The subject of ATN tackers raises another issue. My North Reacher has an equivalent sleeve that can be attached around the furled genoa. So it seems like there are two ways to rig the chute. One is to have a block attached to the padeye behind the forestay and up to the tack/sleeve which would control the height of the tack, and pin the tack to the forestay. The other would be to use a block attached to the anchor roller and then up to the tack, so the tack can run up and away from the boat. What is the advantage of attaching the tack to the genoa/forestay? It seems like the anchor roller attachment would be better for chute position and shape, allow it to be used on more downwind angles but is there a disadvantage? Dave
