I am about to try out my 6.0 with the spinnaker I bought. The spinnaker is a 2002 " flat " style about the same size as the New England spinnaker. Could some one give me a starting point for mast rake. Figure crew weight around the minimum 325 and winds 12-14.

Any other suggestions on spinnaker sheet block placement, spin halyard hardware would be appreciated. I am going to try to do the single line halyard/tack setup. The spinnaker will be launched from the tramp bag which will probably be a real pain for someone used to the I17R snuffer setup!

Also, how do you keep from getting the halyard all tangled up on a really fast spinnaker drop.

Thanks,
