One more thing; If i use a strop so loads are transferred directly to the sail, won't i use the ability to adjust the outhaul? Don't tell me you guys don't have vangs AND you don't adjust your outhauls either?!
Thanks for the replies; huge help.
No - your outhaul still connects the end of the boom to the sail/strop/sheet. It's what outhuals the sail (obviously) and that force makes the mast rotate....but, we rarely mess with that anymore with the spinnakers. It's usually a set and forget thing.
