Dennis, Thanks for the explanation. I race on a Pearson 32 so that probably contributes to our high success rate. Long hoist = premature filling. I guess thats one advantage of having a short stick. ;-) Josh On Apr 11, 2014 12:48 PM, "Dennis C." wrote: > Josh, > > In heavy air, a chute can fi

Re: Stus-List Spinnaker Stops - now chute hoists

Josh, In heavy air, a chute can fill before fully hoisted even when blanketed by the headsail. Remember, in heavy air, you may be flying a smaller headsail with less blanketing potential. If the chute fills prematurely, the mast person is usually unable to complete the hoist and the chute must b

Re: Stus-List Spinnaker Stops

Bill, I don't think our crew has ever had a problem assuming that the helm has his head in the game. Maybe we have been losing speed and races as a result but when we hoist the spinnaker it is being shadowed by the headsail because the helm has already started turning downwind. It is pretty hard

Hi Bill, While I'm sure your local sailmaker can whip up something like that after seeing the video for maybe even $100, maybe you should ask, how many times do I hoist the spinnaker in 25-30 knots? That's rare, and even if some of the boats are flying spinnakers, its a crew decision. If y
