My lightest sheet is 4 mm Robline. I hate having to use it.

I use two part spin sheets. 1/4 inch Dyneema stuffed into StaSet. Strong
and light where need be and easy on the hands on the trimmer end.
Not sure anybody is still making them. Many now use tapered sheets.

On my 34+ I fly an asym on a sprit. I use 3/8 for spin sheets. I have 1/4
for light air.
I would go minimum 3/8 and consider 7/16 for the 37+
2x boat length is correct for the asym. I used to fly a symmetrical and
just repurposed those sheets. One of the guys is now the tackline which I
ran aft t
Ron,
For the symmetrical the 80' sheets you have should be long enough, but they
may be hard on the hands in a breeze.
I use the spin pole downhaul as a tack line. I added a shackle to the bow
stem and move the snap shackle on the downhaul to the bow stem shackle.
I know APS and others recommend
Im wondering what size and length other owners use for sheets/guys for
their spinnakers. The FO left me a collection of lines and four spinnakers
( ½, ¾, 1-½ oz. symmetrical & cruising).
It doesnt appear that I have anything for my cruising spinnaker and will
need both sheets and a tack
I have the two part spin sheets on Touché for racing. If you race, it's the way
to go.
Lightweight 1/4 inch Dyneema stuffed into StaSet with a long eye (luggage tag)
for the shackles. Got them from Layline or apsltd. Forget which.
You need strong lines for the guy. When you're reaching and t
To add to Joel's comments, there is little advantage to using expensive
hi-tech line because stretch is of no consequence. If you have any plans
of putting the line on a self tailing winch just ensure it is large enough
diameter for the tailer to hold.
For really light winds it may make sense to
Dan,
For an Asym the rule of thumb is 2x the length of your boat. I have 3/8
on my 35 and I would use the same diameter again. I just used StaSet to
keep the cost down. You could go with a smaller more expensive line, but
it would be hard on the hands.

I made my sheets somewhat like Dennis said, standard polyester doublebraid
(like sta-set) and dyneema for the last 15 ft or so... the "splice" is
easy. I used dyneema "soft shackles" instead of regular shackles, low
weight and they don't hurt you if they hit you. I sewed the soft shackles

Joel,
I ordered the spin sheets from Layline.com. They have a machine that does it.
You'll need fairly accurate measurement so the sheet wraps on the wi

I also used the tylaska shackles ( or something close) on the original spin
sheets and jib sheets. I didn't realize the cost. I'll take better care
of them now!
Dennis, can you enlighten me how you stuff the dyneema into the sta-set?

Hey guys,
Making up new spinnaker sheets.
Are you guys using snapschackles, Tylaska trigger release, or dyneema loops?
