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.

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?

Re: New boat and bunch of new mods
Love the work you did to this boat. We have friends/family in Va. Beach, can I swing by and take a look at some of your work?

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...
