DO AWAY WITH THE SPINNAKER POLE
|
|
|
The Tacker allows you to use your conventional (symmetric) spinnaker like an asymmetric spinnaker from beam reaching to broad reaching without the need of the spinnaker pole.
The Tacker holds the spinnaker tack close to the centerline of the boat
by sliding over the furled headsail and can be adjusted up and down with the downhaul/tack line.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Attach the halyard to the spinnaker's head.
2. The sheet to the spinnaker's clew.
3. The downhaul to the spinnaker's tack where the TACKER has already been shackled.
4. Pass the TACKER around the furled headsail.
5. Clip the snap shackle onto the spinnaler's tack and hoist away.
Trim the sheet and the downhaul and you are sailing.
The downhaul, in most cases, can be replaced by a rope pennant always on the spinnaker's tack, making the operation even easier.

The Tacker is fitted with a snapshakle, which allows the operator to "blow the tack" of the spinnaker, making it even easier to control the sail.
