: Heavy spinnaker sizing vs medium/light for 33-2
Bruno
Ask him what type of boat the sail was made for. That should give you a better
idea of the dimensions
We were gifted a Mumm 36 spinnaker this past winter. The Frers 33 and C 33-2
have almost identical foretriangle so

Thank you all for the group wisdom.
To be clear my plan was never to compensate the shorter length of the luff by
not hoisting the chute to the masthead. I am fully aware of the conse
ts, you will get all tangled up
with the forestay. Sorry.

+1 on all comments on how fly it safely—especially fully hoisting it!
On one of my earlier kite disasters, we failed to notice that our hoist was 6-8
feet short of full hoist with my masthead full shouldered kite during a
practice run dead downwind.
The wind was up, of course, and within 15-20
Dennis, either that or just set her up by the lee and boogie with the weather
rail awash! :)
We actually went wing and wing by the lee for a couple of miles with the
asymmetric kite on the Baltic 47 in a windy race last summer. But Masquerade is
post IOR and a lot easier to keep on the edge
Where’s your sense of adventure, Dennis?

A heavy weather chute should have narrow shoulders. It should be fully
hoisted. Failure to fully hoist in heavy weather
A heavy weather chute should have narrow shoulders. It should be fully
hoisted. Failure to fully hoist in heavy weather will increase the
potential for oscillation and loss of control.
While we're on heavy weather spin flying, on Touche', we never ever let the
center seam cross to the weather
Sounds like what we used to call a “Chicken chute,” Bruno.
A heavy air kite should be narrower at the top and flatter than than your
regular kite... do hoist it all the way up or you will find it will oscillate
more and steer the boat for you...perhaps in directions you don’t want to go!

Bruno,
Sounds about right. Just don't hoist the chute to the masthead.
