Having studied the various postings here over recent months about cruising chutes and how to set them, we eventually flew ours (for the first time) over the bank holiday weekend (on our Jaguar 25). It was great fun and certainly gave the boat a 'lift' in the lighter winds at the start and end of the holiday (last Thursday and this Wednesday). So if anyone saw a red and white striped chute in the Solent between Cowes and Chichester - it could have been us!

So easy to use, no need for a pole, and saved us from floundering around in the lighter winds (like many around us).

Thanks for the info and tips folks!
