This video contains my tips for how to make chute raising and dousing drama-free. My top tip involves using a Tylaska snap shackle to tame your spinnaker on windy days. I bought the T12 Snap Shackle (4 inches long with 6,000lb MWL -T12 SM Bail) and rigged a line around the release mechanism. Fire up the popcorn for this video, as I have been accused of being a bit long-winded. If you are a pro without the time to watch the video then consider using a quick-release shackle on the tack. Release it before snuffing and the spinnaker will almost snuff itself.
