The bag it came with sounds like a standard spinnaker turtle. It is snap shackled to anything on the foredeck (pulpit) so it won't go anywhere when you launch the sail. The metal hoop just keeps the bag open at the top.

I've only used cruising chute once so can't help you. I do know that if the sock isn't long enough and it doesn't cover the last 4 feet of sail it really is hard to control in case a good wind comes up unexpectedly.

Kind regards,
