David,

What sort of cleat, clutch, or other method do you use to fix the spinnaker traveler?

Thanks,
Kim

More questions, David: do you use a single sheet or double sheet for the light-air sail? How do you tack the sail? I've read of heading downwind and letting the sheet fly, and rolling the sail out around the forestay, but that sounds optimistic to me!

Ah, that favored Wharram technique:Jybing! I was googling, and found a sailmaker's site that said to always jybe a drifter, specifically, a radial-head drifter. The reason for all this interest being the big red drifter that I have never used. . .
