Posts: 13 | I have a bimare jav2 that was setup with a single closed loop for the spin halyard and retrival. I have always had trouble with dousing the spin with excess resistance in the retrival line. Any thoughts / opinions on keeping the single line system vs a separate 2 line setup?

Do you believe it will be easier to set and retrieve if you just cut the line of your one line setup, so that it becomes a two line setup? If the answer is "yes", your line is two short - buy a longer one. If your answer is no, your problem is elsewhere.

Posts: 1,200 Vancouver, BC | Do you mean a single line for pulling the tack out & then hoisting the sail? These systems do have some additional resistance, but not that much. A big factor on my Tornado seems to be where the snuffer opening is placed along the pole...depending on the retrieval patch locations on the sail, you want the sail entering snuffer opening before all 3 (or 2) patches jam up together. Having the opening as close to the forestay as possible was a disaster...the sail would be a huge blob of clothe drapped over the opening...making lots of resistance to enter the ring. Placing the ring 12-18 inches forward allowed the sail to start entry prior to all 3 patches bunching up fully.
