Spinnaker 101
Bart scribbled thusly:
How many here have had an hour glass in a spinnaker?
Many
Yep.
Especially on OPB's or with novice crew, but even with regular crew on
familiar boats there are a certain small percent of snafus....
How many have had to cut a spinnaker away?

How many?? Had to cut lines a few times, never had to cut a sail away
and abandon it.... been tempted a few times!
How many have had a tear in a spinnaker?
You're kidding?
Question should be
Who sails without Ripstop onboard?
It should be practiced to partially lower a spinnaker, with extra
hands holding luff & leach spread, get torn part spread flat & taped,
in minimum time.
Used duct tape a few times too, for temporary repairs!
