Can you make the uphaul and downhaul line of the spinaker pole a continuous line, in other words a loop ?
Because now: the uphaul is attached to the mast, and the downhaul is led to the cockpit, and it is quite cumbersome to set up the pole hight right.
Thanks for the tips.
BTW: when dousing the spinaker, never EVER undo the halyard with your bare hands before the tension has been taken of the sheets. Rope burn is an pain in the *ss as well as the hands.
"no, that was not a bad spinaker dousing. We were just trying to convert the boat into a trawler. Didn't you see the double diamond in the mast ?"
