I have a fairly green crew - and I put myself in that category when it comes to spinnaker handling - and we are trying to move more permanently into the beer can spinnaker division - using a symmetrical spinnaker.
I am looking for help in defining specific jobs / task responsibilities to my crew so at least to start, they get to know set of jobs and do them well I think I have the "standard" set up for 35mk iii s Roller furled jib Spin halyard to base of mast and winch on cabin top just aft of mast on port side I use guys and sheets - no twings Pole topping lift brought aft to clutch on starboard cabin top Pole down haul brought aft to clam clear on starboard side of cockpit coming Self tailing primaries aft with non-self tailing secondaries forward I am not short of crew, but ideally would like to have clear assignments for six or seven individuals - though we often have a couple extra available. I would like to prepare (plagiarize if someone has this already!!) a table with "positions" in the left column and then a series of columns for "upwind" "hoist" "trim" "gybe" "douse" etc. and then each cell would define the job or jobs assigned to each position during that maneuver. While I am sure some of this is generic, I feel that the boat layout requires the assignments to be tailored so that crew don't get in each other's way Anybody got anything already prepared that I could use as a starting point? As always - grateful in advance for the individual and collective wisdom of this group. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
