хорошая конструкция...

The best demonstration thanks 👍

Nice instructive video. Thank you. Hoisting our spinnaker for the first time in a couple of days.

Late comer to the show….one word to describe this production: Genius!!

Really good demonstration just got one for my boat and om confident with that demonstration

Very nice

Brilliant simple and clear

How fast were you going when the line knotted up?

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

Thanks for a great video. Super informative

Nice, thanks! But I'm pretty sure it's area is 150m2, not 150ft2 😀

Brilliant!!! Well shot! Would you do an outside gybe in 15 knots, or just take it down and hoist on the other side?

What RPM s does it spin at say 6 knots

I encougage you to do some more study of what a "sensitive fern" really is.

Nuthin'? Perfect...

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.

Great vid. What was the name of the shackle and where did you get that great bag. Thanks

simple basic yet effective demo of spinnaker + sock... and good crew coordination!

That's a mimosa plant, not a fern

I think after watching this I will get rid of the sock on the spin on my new to me boat. too many lines, and can't gybe with it???

Beautiful colors!

Really great videos, thanks for sharing the whole crossing. 👍👍

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?

Thanks - you helped me.

👍💪👏👏👏

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!

- I could not have been more confused. Instead, I'll just wing it. Life be damned.

Nice video

super

You don't need a pole with the sock system?

Well done and easy to understand for new spinnaker users!

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!

uhhh, what happens when you gybe? No second sheet??

Really great and informative! Appreciate you doing it step by step and explaining each step thoroughly! Thank you!

Thanks for the ride buddy :)

I would have liked to get a better look at the shackle set-up you have in place on the bowsprit. Biggest challenge we have with our asymm is rigging the tack.

I like the way you don't shrink from using nautical terms. Removes ambiguity on the water.

where was that waterfall in the vid?

Nice video mate i was wondering where you watched this from banana river? Indian river? Thanks

Needs to be slower and more explicit.

Hi could you tell me which shackle it is you recommend, or send a link as cannot find it in the UK, thanks.

How to jibe it?

Hi, Your video is helpful, thanks. Can I add that if you really are crossing the Atlantic do you think its a good idea to do so without a life-jacket on or a safety line?

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

Great thanks

Nicely done... thanks for your efforts...

thanks for the video, cheers

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 :-)

Slick we’re are you guys at these days
