[C38] visual on attach aysym sock

Sat Jun 23 14:28:22 EDT 2012

Hi Larry,

A good idea for sailing with a sock is to put a snatch shackle on the take hoist/down loop and secure it to the deck.  Makes for much easier hoisting's/take downs. 

Prevents the loop from floating away from your reach..

Cheers!

  Thanks Don, I guess that's the way they are attached.  LOL  I'll learn for
  sure by a mistake or two, I think I'll take the whole package by Quantum
  Sails in Long Beach first and have them check it out and give me their
  advice as well.  The shackle for the halyard just looks really small to take
  the load of a spinnaker on the one I borrowed. 

  Best regards,
