Sailed again tonight with my spi tacked at the bow. I was able to beg my wife to get some pictures while sailing in this configuration. The spinnaker tack is able to shift to the leeward bow on each jibe with this setup. I was launching/retrieving into my bag. Amazing how much faster the boat is with the chute up, even in light air. Felt quicker than my Flyer. I was able to go wild easily in the slight puffs which came up after my wife left.
I really like this configuration - very quick to rig and hardly any "extra" windage and minimal weight. Now I just have to figure out how to snuff it for bouy racing, the bag would work great for distance racing.
