Hi everyone, am in the midst of working out all the little niggles on my new viper and just had a few questions I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with.

1. What size mainsail halyard are you guys using? I currently have a 6mm halyard but find it hard to get the sail to hook on, and if it does hook on, I find it hard to get it down after that.

2. What do you do to make it easier to snuff the spinnaker? I find that my spinnaker bunches at the opening of the chute and it gets pretty hard from there on to snuff it into the spin sock.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
