The discussion of the takedown was brought up this weekend after I was noticing some wear around the lower patch. The spin has the patches on the starboard side of the sail. Some people felt that you should always snuff the sail when the line is on the inside of the sail (so on mine it would have to be on a starboard tack). Well this is not easy when you try to drop it rounding the mark as you are rounding it on port. Do you all think this is a thing to worry about or does the side of the take down is not a problem.
As for the wear Ed says he is noticing the same stuff on his spin also. We have taped up what we can as far as sharp edges and what not, but are still looking for the cause.
