berny Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 No I haven't been out yet Darryl. I'm still messing with some inserts for the bows to attach the spin pole guys. Foils? No mate, I told you, I'm painting the decks black. Bern 'parrotchute' [This message has been edited by berny (edited 23 May 2004).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl J Barrett Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 keep it simple Berny, keep it flat, and most important set it up so that it's easy to set and retrieve quickly one up. Nothings worse than rigging up the first spinnaker so that it looks like a work of art on the shore, then you strike all sorts of unexpected problems on the water, - that can be a huge discouragement to further experimentation. It often pays to go out first up with a crew who has handled a spinnaker (preferably on a cat). good luck with it (show us some pictures when you have it sorted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
