Ours is free flying on a spectra luff

Gary:

Nice race - I'll use the video on the home page soon... Do you have a pic of the how the code 0 is attached and setup?

I have an old jib w/o hanks that I've used a couple times in light winds.

Gary: How about tacking -- do you roll it up or ? 

I tried the 150% jib tacked ahead of the furlex furler and with a mast halyard on the spinnaker bale got pretty good tension on the luff cable and it worked good but tacking is almost impossible w/o much fussing - though with longer sheets it might work better. w/o the furler it is tough to land the sail - with the gusty winds on the bay - don't want to get caught with to much sail up...
