Posted By: John Date: 4/10/09 6:00a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: spinnaker halyard (John) ....sorry guys. I always have another thought after I post. I bought one of those chute scoop's at the Strictly sail show in Chicago. Tried it in the driveway on a windy day. (ya, we were standing around drinking beer wondering how far down the street the whole thing would go if it jumped the chocks ) WOW what a difference in raising the chute. I think I could almost do it singlehanded.....until the alarm clock or broach woke me up!
