This spinnaker works best between a broad reach and downwind run.
Do not use on beam reach or close hauled. (FIG 25)
To hoist the spinnaker, pull on halyard line from the front of the cock-
pit and cleat off on the Harken block on the front crossbar.
To douse the spinnaker, release the lines from the Harken block and
pull from the line exiting the snuffer bag.
Do not use the spinnaker in strong winds beyond your ability level.
If wind is increasing, douse the spinnaker before it gets too strong.
When using the spinnaker be aware of your surroundings as the
spinnaker will reduce visibility.
When tacking and jibing with the spinnaker, furl the main sail in half
way to avoid it getting tangled.
Depending on your batten length and tension, you may need to cut 1-2”
off of the top batten to avoid snagging the halyard line during furling.
