[Public-List] Another Spinnaker question

Mon Sep 29 06:06:49 PDT 2014

My boat and all the Chesapeake boats I have raced on take sheet and guy straight form the block on the stern quarter to the spinnaker clew and tack.

While we're on the subject of Spinnakers I have a question regarding the necessity of using a snatch block to guide the afterguy. I occasionally race Quest and when flying the spinnaker simply run the afterguy directly from the tack to the turning block on the stern quarter.  It seems to work OK as long as the pole is properly secured with the downhaul. Is this a reasonable option or do most use a snatchblock on the genoa track.
