The speed at which one does a gybe all depends on the efficiency of the crew. That said, those who do end for end will tell you that end for end is faster than dip pole, and visa versa. I started doing dip pole gybes on my previous boat, an Ericson 2-30 (1000 square foot spinnaker). I still do g

Re: Stus-List C&C 35Mk III Spinnaker Sheets / Guys

Have you considered the "soft shackles" (shackle loops)? Some people make their own, but you can buy them ($20-$30), too. No metal (or any other hardware) at the clew. Btw. I have also seen the Tylaska spool shackles (the plastic ones) for under $15. Marek s/v Fennel C&C 24 NSC, Ottawa_

Re: Stus-List C&C 35Mk III Spinnaker Sheets / Guys

Like Alan, I use standard snap shackles with larger bails for the guys (Ronstan RF6220), smaller for sheets (Ronstan RF6110). I also have the plastic donuts on the guys to make sure the pole end doesn't eat the shackle bails too much. There's no way I'd go with knots for those attachments. I jus

I use, and have been using 3/8" Sta-set braid for sheets and guys for many years. I use a shackle with a large bale on the guy, and a standard shackle on the sheet. Alan Bergen C&C 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR - Original Message - _

I am thinking of getting new spinnaker sheets made up this winter for Indigo. I will probably go with standard snap-shackles as the Tylaska shackles are a luxury I do not really need. I was wondering what line is recommended by other 35MKIII listers, and whether it makes sense to remove the cover
