Re: tack line for spinnaker...

I did the same and it is run back to cockpit. Works really well, even if solo chute flying. Only do this in under 10mph winds though...
Always better to have a crew.

Never without ballast unless will pull it out of the water for a hurricane...
I always double check it as well just to make sure.
But, thanks for asking!

Re: New boat and bunch of new mods

Curious, how much weight did this add to the boat? We usually take 4-6 out and with ballast, etc... wondering?

tack line for spinnaker...

Curious how everyone is running tack line back to cockpit for spinnaker. Currently, I am using other bow tang hole beneath furler for tack line. What diameter line do we use for tack line 1/4"? Also, can this tang take the load? Don't have anchor set up at the bow that I have seen others attach...
