Hi guys,
Interesting thread and discussion, if it's of any interest to anyone I've posted up a short video of me at Datchet last year. It shows a spinnaker hoist in about a Force 3-4 and a gybe. While I'm the first to admit it's not textbook stuff, you guys might find it useful as a term of reference for your comments

So go to it guys - I can take it!!!
