I think some people also place their knee on the old spi sheet when grabbing the new spi sheet to prevent the spi from flapping.
that might work, I'll give it a shot this weekend. One of my problems was letting the sheet go out too much and then there is lots to pull in. It basically felt slow as the spinnaker wrapped around the forestay. The critics on the beach (ie Marcus) confirmed it was slow
and ugly. It has been suggested holding the original sheet with my teeth and bring the new sheet over with my hands. Not sure my dentist would be impressed, but hey if it's good enough for Bundock.
What was the model gps you got?
Velocitek SC-1, still learning how to use it but it has some nice features and big numbers. Haven't worked out where to put it though. This weekend I tied it to the boom, which meant that I can only see it from starboard tack. Another option is to attach it to the spinnaker pole half way between the forestay and mainbeam.
