Dear All,
We have just binned our old spinnaker and will soon take delivery of a new cruising chute, which will hopefully be easier to manage.
We will run the tack line back to one of the mast winches, probably the one for the genoa halyard as that will not be used if the cruising chute is up and we only have one winch on each side of the cockpit.
Has anyone had any experience of attaching the block to the bow. The further aft of the two is used for the jacklines, and the other has the shackle for the genoas.
1) Is it feasible to attach the block to the pulpit? This would allow the foot to be further forward, but might be too much for it.
2) Is it worth attaching a strop to fit between the jacklines or under the genoa shackle? This would raise the foot of the sail, but not really help it move forward.
Regards,
Cameron
