I take my tack to a block just aft of the furler. I also have a wide web that wraps around the furled headsail and keeps the tack near centerline. Ease the tack as you get further downwind. Halyard definitely at the mast. Yes, use the outer halyards. On a three-halyard masthead only the "wings" can be used for the spinnaker, but all should work for the white sails. Cheers Andy
