I have a spinnaker I have never used, mainly because I too normally solo, its kinda of scary to get it all wrapped up if I mess up, butt as I have heard it said here before "its not how you live, its how you live!." So bury that rail and wrap that spinnaker Gilbert -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Timtone Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 8:45 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Spinnaker Stuff I have modified an old spinnaker a buddy gave me some time ago. It was a little big for the 17. I flew it the last three days and love it. Man, it can keep a guy busy when you are solo. I have been using temporary lines for all the controls. What I have been wondering is what folks have done to modify the masthead for a spin halyard sheave? I am going to have to come up with something.
