Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
I have both (Tacker and the Sleeve). They work. The Sleeve is essential if you are shorthanded (do I quote Wally word by word?). When shorthanded, setting up a spinnaker is a pain, anyway. With or without the Tacker. The only benefit is that you can fly any spinnaker like an asym and it works.

Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
I stopped using tacker as well a now use bow anchor roller. Gets sail out further and makes it easier. Jerry. C &C 27V J&J.

Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
Francois For cruising purposes you may want to take a look at Doyle's UPS or similar product. It's essentially a smaller chute on a simple continuous line furling drum. The drum attaches to any convenient fitting with a snap shackle. By far it is the easiest system for a 2 person crew to manage. I've used both the tacker and various socks over the years. While they work reasonably well the furling system is just in another league in terms of convenience. Just another option.

Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
I have played with doing something to my 36XL to reduce crew requirements plus to make it easier to cruise shorthanded. My question is how many crew do you need to fly it when racing (vs the symmetrical chute)? Also, do you think the PHRF change was fair and what did it cost in parts?
