[C38] Salon Shelving Options

[Joseph Launie]

Max.
     The assymetric chute is much easier to fly. It requires less muscle 
on the foredeck than the pole. We have added a 3.5 foot Seldon 
adjustable sprit. When we go to set the assy chute, the tack is hooked 
up 3.5 feet in front of the bow. The foot of the chute goes into the 
slot in the bow pulpit rather than having to drape over the top. It 
holds it in place during the set. If you look at the J-120 or J-105, 
both of whom have sprits, you will see the top slot for the chute. The 
sprit makes it much easier to jibe the chute. Joe
