Before the Sock, I used rubber bands to make a Sausage. I cut the bottom

Then I started the chute thru the bucket, head first. about every five
to six feet I'd slip a rubber band off around the spinnaker. I'd do this
until I got down near the foot of the sail and leave enough to hook the
tack and the sheet corner. Then I would bag it like a turtle (A real
turtle is great but not necessary) You just have to have the three
corner accessible.

Did you forget about running the tapes before doing this?

How often did you get hourglasses?

Doug,

I got Hourglasses but that was before the the rubber bands. In fact,
that was the reason for the sausage, to get the chute out past the
forestay before letting the wind blow it into the stay
