Thom Stewart scribbled thusly:
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



If the tapes are run and the sail doesn't twist as it's being hoisted,
the rubber band trick works well... that's how the America's Cup boys do
it (with slight variation).

Wineglass Thom....Wineglass!


I like that term... learn something new every day.

I don't know what went wrong, but I've still seen spinnakers do a
wineglass after hoisting in stops or even using a snuffer.
