[C38] spinnaker furling

[Joseph Launie]

Larry,
     The chute is on a top down furler. To work the tortion line must be 
bar tight which means a lot of pressure on the halyard and upward 
pressure on the sprit hence the jack stay. Here the halyard is not two 
blocked therefore the chute did not entirely unfurl. It is mostly 
unfurled which is a funny shape and not fast. It is sort of half fast. Joe
