I have an ATN Tacker, played with it for a while, and decided the benefit wasn't worth the hassle and just rigged the clew down to the bow rollers. The sock, on the other hand, is essential for me as a short handed cruiser. The Tacker was relegated to the essential job of suspending a hammock

I have both (Tacker and the Sleeve). They work. The Sleeve is essential if you are shorthanded (do I quote Wally word by word?). When shorthanded, setting up a spinnaker is a pain, anyway. With or without the Tacker. The only benefit is that you can fly any spinnaker like an asym and it works.

Yeah Jack, ATN didn't do themselves any favors when then used the stretchy rope. Too difficult to pull the rope tight enough. If you get a chance to find some ascenders it would be easy to reuse everything you already have to make a "top climber" A 4:1 block and tackle means that you have to use
