McGriffin,
Are you going to be sailing Cat or Sloop?
Good to hear you are going with Greg Goodall, did you talk to Greg about his aluminium spinnaker shoot, bag and deck layout. I have used both the Irwin/Tim setup and the Greg Goodall style, I would be interested in finding out what you are doing? They both have their positives and negatives and the system we have ended up with was primarily designed by Greg. The reason is we sail sloop and the crew raises and lowers the spinnaker. The system others are using has been developed for the skipper doing all the work.
