a bag for spinnaker

[paun]

I need a bag for spinnaker - where I can buy it? Any suggestions?

ask a sailmaker - no cant be right seems just a bit obvious! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Do you mean a bag to stow it in or a turtle to launch and recover it from? If the former, just about any sailmaker. If the latter, make quite sure you know what you are going to get. There are some impractical designs on offer and I speak from experience. Make sure it's the right size for the spinnaker, will hold itself open while you stow the sail, doesn't invert itself when the kite is launched, can be closed tight with plenty of Velcro, has some arrangement for holding the three corners separately and securely. The one I bought from a 'quality, racing sailmaker' has been modified three times, once by him and twice by me. It still is not what I reckon it should be.

Good advice re the turtle- I'm just about to get a new spi with turtle and had assumed that any loft building a spinnaker would know what was needed to stow and launch. Seemingly not!!

Thanks for the warning

Have you considered a sock/snuffer? Just bought ATN, good piece of kit and good service.
