Thanks Doug, i have been flying a spin for over a year and 1/2 now (on my second spin and second snuffer bag). I use it often (as often as i can) and have a good feel for using it... It is a blast and i wouldn't want to sail without it. When i can't rig it.. i am always missing it.

I know about popping the battens over with the boom.. but this requires a few snaps/bangs of the boom and puts a lot of stress on the sail. I have already had 3 tears in my other sail (along the batten pockets) until the sail shredded through 2 pannels.

I really want to take it easy on this sail... and plan to change out from foam to fiberglass battens as soon as i have the time (the fiberglass ones are from my now shredded sail, in my car, waiting to be used). i KNOW this will handle that problem.

The sail you see in the pics was used more for heavy air and the inversion is not a problem. I will probably purchase another sail, more for light air conditions (i actually have one to try)...
