| cruising chute rigging
hello every one
I have just received the cruising chute I ordered one month ago from Lee Sails in HK,
it came inside a bag which has a rigid loop opening with 3 cringles and one snap hook ?I wonder what is it for??
the sail came inserted into a " sock" for ease of hoisting and dousing
the head of the sail is equipped with a rather complicated contraption steel swagged wire + pulley + rope + snap shacke and tied to 2 points of the sock which are tied via a rope to 2 points of the bigger end loop on the far end of the sock..
since I have never used a genaker( crusing chute) in my sailing years, I wonder if any one can sketch or illustrate the rigging especially at the head of the sail... pictures will be even better...
I have surfed the net for some illustrated help but could only find description for the tack / down haul attachement at the bow nothing for the masthead.
thanks
georges
