Kerkyra Hanse 400e Yacht Manual
SPINNAKER SLEEVE USE
SETTING
•
Set the spinnaker while on a broad reach so that it
is blanketed by the mainsail
•
Raise the spinnaker and sleeve together with the
spinnaker halyard.
•
Do not keep the sleeve control lines taught or they
may become stuck in the block at the top of the
sleeve.
•
Slide the sleeve to the top of the sail by pulling the
control line.
•
Once the sail is opened, allow enough slack in the
control lines so that the head of the sail can
become perpendicular to the mast.
•
The fiberglass hoop of the sleeve should rest on
the head of the sail with no visible gap between the
hoop and the sail
•
Tie off the control lines to the flag halyard cleat on
the starboard shroud when finished.
TRIM
•
Cruising chute can be sailed between ~70 and ~150 degree apparent wind
angle.
•
Tack line ~2 feet when sailing high, ~6 feet when sailing low.
•
Ease the sheet until the luff is just starting to curl at the top.
DOUSING
•
Douse the spinnaker while on a broad reach so that it is blanketed by the
mainsail.
•
Overtrim the spinnaker so that the sheet is tight under the boom. This will keep
the sail well blanketed.
•
Blow the tack rather than the clew, as this will keep the spinnaker in the lee of
the mainsail.
•
Lower the spinnaker sleeve by pulling down on the control line.
•
Once the spinnaker is in the sock, lower both by easing the spinnaker halyard.
Note that there is a halyard lock on the mast as well as at the cockpit so you
can release the cockpit lock before going forward to drop the spinnaker.
•
Stow the sail in the sailbag and away in the cockpit locker or down the forward
hatch for future use.
