Great thread. Thanks for the clarification on the spin halyard under the tramp setup-we don't have those fancy grommets on the Infusion so the retrieval end stays above the tramp at all times.

Our halyard is exactly as Tripp specified above, and works perfectly, with one mod. There is a polyester cover over the FSE Racing Sheet right at the cleat-I added it when the halyard blew several times on a close reach costing us at least one race. I know Tripp added the same cover to his last boat due to a similar failure at catacup. If making a halyard, I advise keeping the core as thick as possible in the area where the cleat grips, which should prevent the need for a cover. Before we had an un-tapered polyester halyard and it was rope burn city on the spinnaker, switched to the dyneema tail on the retrieval end and no more rope burns smile
