This video is taken from a portion of the Atlantic Crossing Videos. The purpose is to provide a "how to" for how we rig, set and douse a large asymmetrical spinnaker on Slick.

Great stuff, no further research required. Excellent in fact. Thank you.

Thanks dude- you explained it well, and showed reality instead of marketing hype- extremely well done! I am buying this exact set up, and have been researching. Bravo!

Thank you for sharing this video. As soon as the ice is off the lake (mid May here in Saskatchewan :)) I hope to be out trying the asymmetrical and sock I sewed up this winter. It will be a first time for me and this explains launching and retrieving in easy to understand terms. Now to sew up a bag like you have for storing the sail. Very much appreciated. Cheers.

Releasing the tack line could encourage the formation of the hour glass. Suggest this is only done in stronger winds. In light airs my snuffer (sock) always seems to come down OK and I never get a wrap in the sail

Thanks for the video! We don't have too much issue gybing our asymmetric but dropping it can be a pain. I like the approach of dumping the idea of dumping the tack to help drop it. Those quick release shackles are quite punchy $$$ so going to try to use the line we're currently using run back to a cleat :-)

We have just bought a Hunter 273 with a cruising chute. Had a few problems pulling the sock up the sail. In our opinion the sock was too small at the lower part of the sail. it would bunch up, and even when the clew and sheets emerged, it still bunched up and snagged. So we cut 2.3m off the top of the sock. All works well now but the disadvantage is that you have quite a bit of the sail on the foredeck to handle before the sock is hoisted. Will be fitting some netting to the guard rails today to keep the sail on the deck. We want to do a bit of racing around the cans so reckon we will be able to deploy the chute in about 20 seconds once set up. Also going to colour the sock up haul to quickly identify which one to pull!

Nicely done. You have dispelled my fears for making an investment in an asym. I'm really tiring of my slow downwind speeds. How many sailors use a pole with these?

@ianstanley-maddocks9262 2 жыл бұрын

Those are some beefy up-fucker / down-fucker lines. I got some shitty 5mm lines on mine and they're bloody useless for pulling down the sock in 25 kts. I like your setup for releasing the tack. We've been releasing the clew and it doesn't de-power enough so it's like wrestling a very angry 15m crocodile that's determined to throw you overboard. I'm stealing that idea for when the wind gets up there.

Thx for the video...I am getting things prepped on my boat to use a spinnaker, with a sock...35' beneteau first. The spinnaker i have is symmetrical...It looked like you were using this without a pole. What size is the boat you were on? And yes...you make it look easy!

Hi, sorry for so late reply. I haven't been active lately. Boat is 40 ft First 38 from the 80s. No pole, but i did make a bow sprit and that helped a lot. Thanks for watching.

Well done. We've been trying to gybe our asym for a couple of seasons now using an ATN sock. It's always a pain and sometime unnerving. We will suffer no more and do the douse and gybe method. It's actually fun to douse and release! I notice you are not using the ATN Tacker. Any reason?

not that familiar with the sock but i know normally the spinnaker hoist is done behind the foresail. What about the sock can you do it as well?

i prefer a tylaska brand trigger release snap shackle, i think i used a t-8 on this one but i am not sure. just use the recommended size for your spinnaker. Also, you can get a "spike" to help open it.

@apivovarov2 4 жыл бұрын

How to jibe it?

@HardlyAnythingWorks 4 жыл бұрын

a couple ways, but what i usually do is just snuff it without releasing the tack and then pull it over. The concern on the gybe is that the snuffing sock gets hung up then you can't take it down. when off shore on long cruises in consistent wind though, you rarely gybe.
