So you have a spinnaker pole, rigging septate spinnaker sheets, pole up haul, pole downhaul, you're 95% of the way there, that's your definition of hassle free, I'd hate to see what you would consider "a bother"! Why not just go the one extra step and actually fly the proper sail for your point of sail?!

Not every boat has a spinnaker & sails can tear.

Useful video - thank you - but why are three introductions needed? The first 45 seconds of this short video is wasted. Please get straight to the good stuff. :-)

Mauser M03 Blog YouTube rates videos by seconds watched (or rather seconds watched adds points to the algorithm) so the more extra seconds you watch, the higher their video rates…and both you and I and everyone else watched an extra 15 seconds…that's why.

move the vang out to the toe rail, pull down, this will stop the main sheet from rubbing on the spreadders. it also acts as a preventer to some extent.

which of the two methods mentioned is the most efficient? twin headsails seems to be safest, but is it then less efficient?

In a video you should demonstrate how to do things rather than talk about it in my opinion.

Thank you I did learn a lot and who wants to produce a training video done in high wind conditions, Some of your viewers need to understand that it is what you know after you know  it all that matters.

Women in light wind condition. I have put up a spinnaker in heavy wind manytimes. Did not learn a thing from this video.

Admiral Genius And to further clarify, if this was "Jim Bob's sailing blog" I wouldn't care (I wouldn't be here bordering on being an ass), in fact if Jim Bob had said I don't bother flying a spinnaker and instead here's what I do…fine, maybe even a thumbs up. But SHE does fly a spinnaker, and she's just instructed us to do 95% of the setup for flying a spinnaker, and called it "hassle free": it's disingenuous. When I come to Yachting World to see a video they have from a professional sailor, there are certain expectations, and this feels more like false pretext.

Admiral Genius No, he (and I) don't know everything, which is why we're here, and wasted 5 minutes of our day (which you might gather I don't much appreciate), AND we didn't learn anything (nothing to do with the presenter being a woman, and rather has to do with a lazy video). It's a video trolling for clicks: good title, but nothing presented you wouldn't learn on your first day out. I've already watched much better today and I'll find better yet I suspect before today is over. You want to call him on his sexism fine, but don't call him a moron for saying he didn't learn anything from a poorly made video.

Very timely! About 15 minutes before watching this I was shopping for a whisker pole. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how the spinnaker pole works. I never thought of using a separate line to control the pole. Thanks! :)
