	Spinnaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The spinnaker is often called a chute, as it somewhat resembles a parachute in both construction and appearance, or a kite.
		Since the lift and drag generated by the spinnaker both act to move the boat forward, the lift to drag ratio is unimportant.
		An asymmetric spinnaker is particularly effective on fast planing dinghies as their speed generates an apparent wind on the bow allowing them to sail more directly downwind.

	Spinnaker How-To
		The spinnaker is hoisted by the Spinnaker halyard (the rope halyard).
		Since the spinnaker is symmetrical, whichever lower corner is attached to the spinnaker pole becomes the tack and the free flying corner becomes the clew.
		Although the spinnaker adds excitement and challenge to sailing, the smart skipper is keenly aware of the limits of his abilities, his crawls abilities and the parameters in which the chute can be safely flown.

	UK's Encyclopedia of Sails -- Chapter 6 -- Spinnaker Jibes
		As the boat turns, the spinnaker guy is tight-ened until the pole is perpendicular to the centerline of the boat.
		Finally, the spinnaker is trimmed to the wind, the topping lift is raised and the inboard end of the pole is lowered.
		The end that was hooked to the mast is then connected to the spinnaker sheet and the end that was hooked to the spinnaker guy is hooked to the mast.

	Spinnaker Fundimentals
		The spinnaker sail is controlled by three lines, a halyard and two sheets, that are attached to the three corners of the sail.
		The bottom corners of the sail are interchangeable, and are called the tack (corner attached to the “guy” that is led through the end of the spinnaker pole) and the clew (free end that is attached to the sheet).
		A spinnaker pole is used to set the windward corner or tack of the sail.

	spinnaker
		Spinnaker peels take a little more time and a little more orchestration, but when properly done, the boat is never without a spinnaker that is full and pulling.
		Don't think of the spinnaker as a bucket which "catches the wind." Just like a main or a jib, it is a foil which bends the wind, and just like a main or a jib, the spinnaker pulls the hardest when the wind is traveling smoothly across the spinnaker's OUTSIDE surface.
		Spinnaker sheet on the bottom edge of the boom -- For this type of sailing, the sheet should not be allowed to rub on the boom.

	Setting and Trimming the Cruising Spinnaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Unlike the conventional spinnaker which is symmetrical on either side of its centerline, the cruising spinnaker has a definite luff and leech, with the luff being the bit longer of the two.
		To hoist the cruising spinnaker with the genoa halyard, the procedure is exactly the same as it is with the spinnaker halyard.
		The purpose of the sock is to contain the spinnaker in a "sausage" bag during the hoisting and lowering process for safety and ease of handling.

	Larger Spinnaker Tests - Denmark
		Compared to the first spinnaker we made, this one is more powerful, and we where about 2 knots faster on a downwind (trapezing) compared to a standard spin.
		The spinnaker was very easy to control on the downwind, but it was definitely not easy to sail a close reach with it in these conditions.
		In my opinion the size of the spinnaker could easily be increased with.3m on the luff and.5 m on the bottom and half height measurements which would make the 505 a true high performance dinghy.

	Cruising Spinnaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The cruising spinnaker is a sail design that sets up like a genoa and offers the downwind excitement and performance of a spinnaker without a whisker pole.
		Caution is always necessary when the wind increases as the cruising spinnaker will quickly heel the boat if you sail on a reach or are caught by a gusty wind shift.
		The sheets for the cruising spinnaker are run aft to two small blocks located near the stern, then cleated just forward of the block.

	Catamaran & trimaran multihull ATN spinnaker sleeve, gale sail, and tacker
		They were made out of spinnaker or bag cloth which would cling to the spinnaker when wet, the lines (always too small), burned the hands and would foul and wrap around the spinnaker.
		While it would seem that a spinnaker sleeve is a simple sailing tool, and that any one with a sewing machine could design and fabricate one, when dealing with large sails, the problems increases rapidly in complexity and cost.
		Here is the sequence: Attach the halyard to the spinnaker's head, the sheet to the spinnaker's clew, the downhaul to the spinnaker's tack where the TACKER has already been shackled, pass the TACKER around the furled headsail, clip the snap shackle onto the spinnaler's tack and hoist away.

	Harken Rigging Tips: spinnaker
		A well-designed spinnaker system makes setting, flying and jibing the chute easier, and your boat faster.
		While the windward guy is in use, the sheet on that side of the boat is “lazy.” A double-ended foreguy facilitates adjustment from either side of the boat.
		Boats with asymmetrical spinnakers and retractable bowsprits are rigged with a tack line leading through a block on the end of the sprit and aft to a cleat or stopper.
