We use the crossed spinnaker sheet setup and like it a lot. It keeps the sheet on the boat better than if it were end to end. I did not like the sheets tied back to the boat with a bungee so had them loose on the boat. Now that they are crossed they do not fall off the side and I can always get to it around the weather mark so I can hand it to my crew without her (Eileen, the super crew) looking for it. If you do this I think it best to have the one on top from the port side to aid in the usual first mark rounding.

Later,
