It's been many years since I've flown a chute but the best I can remember, if its a synetrical chute you need a topping lift to hold the s pole the right highth and a down haul to keep it there for starters. Now you need a halyard and 2 sheets, actually I think the sheet attached to the s pole side is the sheet and the 1 under the main is the guy and when you gibe they change names. Have the topping lift and down haul attached to the pole before you raise the chute, and I think the pole attached to the chute on the windward side. Now you are getting close, trim the pole perpendicular to the wind and trim the guy until the chute has a nice shape. Now the wind has changed and you need to start the trimming process all over again. Better yet find a friend with spinaker experiance and have him hold your hand the 1st several times you try it. If I didn't get it right someone on this bb will let you know' Eldor M17 Motu iti -----Original Message----- From: Patti Raymond <pattiraymond@sbcglobal.net> To: montgomery_boats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Fri, Jun 18, 2010 11:56 am Subject: M_Boats: Spinnaker for M-15 Hi guys...When I bought my 15 a few months ago it came with a spinnaker but I aven't a clue how to deploy it.
