jdoe71 did a good job of describing the procedure. I leave my bag which is the same as yours in the sail locker and load or unload directly from there. If I had it on deck it would have tto be snapped to a line or something. Some of the problems I have encountered are primarily caused by the sock control line block spinning and twisting a portion of the sock control line preventing me from getting the chute totally out of the sock. I have also had spinnaker haylard block twist which prevented me from fully raising the chute in sock. I think I have solved that one. As for the control line block twist I was considering putting a small cheek block attached to the side of the sock. Anybody else have any ideas?
