How many here have had an hour glass in a spinnaker?

Never when I packed it! grin But sure.

How many have had to cut a spinnaker away?

No, thank goodness. Had one where we really had to slack everything to
get back up to vertical from horizonal and then retrieve that big
soggy mess from the water - on a C&C34, IIRC. That's the closest I
ever got to being tempted to cut away.

How many have had a tear in a spinnaker?

Sure. Especially when we left up the .75 oz. chute when we really
should have traded it for the 1.5!
