I just sent this to Sailrite yesterday, and unfortunately they were unimpressed.
<<I can't find spinnaker stops on your site, am I looking wrong, or do you not have them yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ6DteTOZ7I <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ6DteTOZ7I&feature=youtu.be> &feature=youtu.be Everyone who races starting 2014 has to have them this year, or face disqualification. There are tens of thousands of spinnakers that will need to be modified. If there was some type of fastener like a self piercing tiny grommet, or something that could be set and flared with a hammer or something . . . something simple. I supposed even sewing them by hand on a home sewing machine wouldn't be a big deal. I think regular Velcro may not release easy enough, it may be a certain type. I have not seen any of these from the major sailmakers to verify what they use.>> Their response was << No, we do not have spinnaker stops, but you can easily make them using Velcro and webbing or elastic >> So, looks like I am on my own. I think it would have to be a pretty weak Velcro so your spinnaker actually pops open. Does anyone have any good ideas or inside info on this? First race in less than a month! Bill Coleman C&C 39
