Just one other thing for novice spinnaker handling, the philosophy of gybing.
The chute does NOT come across the boat; the boat turns UNDER the chute. Visualize the chute traveling pretty much straight down the course while the boat turns port/starboard beneath it. If your driver and crew develop this way of spin sailing, your gybes will go well. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
