Also, go "old school" with a Harken swivel Clam Cleat for you spin halyard. The new systems aren't as reliable...
Nah - we had one of those stock on the Tiger. Absolutely wretched device. Kept letting go of the rope in strong gusts. We never did figure out exactly what was wrong with it, but we went swimming one too many times because of it and it got swapped for a spinlock. We haven't looked back.
