2008-12-12 2008-12-12 Dropping the spinnaker is the most complicated and potentially dangerous maneuver facing a yachtsman. The ATN Spinnaker Sleeve ensures a safe and orderly retrieval. Works with spinnakers, gennakers, MPS, mizzen stay sails or any free Luff sail. Never repack your spinnaker again. The spinnaker and the control line are completely separated from each other. This prevents tangling and and ensures proper packing every time.The control line is a closed loop, made of 2 different lines. One side is to hoist the sleeve. It must not kink and it should be small enough to travel in the side sleeve and through the top turning block. The other side must be much heavier as it is handled by the operator to douse the sail. It also must not kink as well as be long enough to be lead through a snatch-block. The mouth of the sleeve is made of Kevlar and fiberglass which, while expensive, offers a good combination of strength and lightness. Spinnaker is fastened inside the spinnaker sleeve with a swivel shackle to allow gibing. 0 text/html 1.0 EN index,follow spinnaker sleeve spinnaker atn spinnaker sleeve spinnakers gennakers mps mizzen stay sails luff sail snap ratchet block gale sail genoa sleeve tacker sun shield spinnaker sleeve Best Marine Imports - Spinnaker Sleeve text EZ-NetTools EZ-NetTools specializes in providing professional custom web site design and ecommerce services that you can easily maintain.
