Just ordered my cruising chute from Rolly Tasker in Thailand and am looking forward to trying it out.. Probably next season. Have flown my symmetrical a few times singlehanded. Considering how to do this on Windstar and am curious about how others have addressed a few things: -Halyard at cockpit. In this case it might make sense to have halyard at mast - this way halyard, and spin-sock can be dealt with together. -Halyard at masthead. On the 33-2 there are three halyards available, all are in-masthead sheaves, parallel to each other . I currently use the centre one for the Genoa, and any other halyard chafes its neighbour on one tack. -Tack downhaul. There isn't one forward of the furler drum. The downhaul itself can be rigged using the spin-pole downhaul line, fair leads and cleats, but the fixed, forward tack is a problem to be resolved. Many thanks for any guidance! Dave - Windstar 33-2
