The goal is to ONLY have the part of the line you are handling or cleating to have the cover on it. This helps with the line running through the blocks and decreases weight (ya gotta be good to make that weight difference count!!!)


With a spi retriever light weight line will help nearly everybody. Reason being that in light wind heavy line quite substantially changes the shape of the spi by just hanging from it.

good point about pulling down on the spin with the weight. What I was mainly referring to is how everyone hypes lightweight stuff in general on boats but in the end that weight diff will only make the slightest bit of difference to only the best sailors in the world.
