Sail Hoisting: The "cruising set"
Being deliberate with each stage of setting the spinnaker pays off. Nothing is worse than a spinnaker filling when it's halfway hoisted, because then the halyard has tons of load as you haul it to the top. Here are the steps to a conservative spinnaker-setting procedure that Peter calls a cruising set. The beauty of this set is that the sail doesn't fill until you're ready for it.
1. Make sure that the spinnaker is attached to the sheets and halyard properly and that the bag is secured to the boat.
2. Connect the inboard end of the spinnaker pole to the mast, attach the topping lift and foreguy to the outboard end, and then raise the pole. The correct height depends on your boat and the wind conditions. Make sure that the guy is running through the outboard end of the pole.
3. Turn the boat onto a very broad reach or run. Be careful not to accidentally jibe. Turning the boat onto a broad reach or run lets you hoist the spinnaker behind the mainsail — protected from the force of the wind.
4. Make sure the crew is ready, and call for the sail to be hoisted.
5. As the sail is being hoisted, pull the guy until the clew of the spinnaker touches the pole. If you're using winches, make sure that you have enough wraps on the guy's winch drum to take the load when the sail fills.
6. When the halyard is fully hoisted and cleated, set the guy to its proper position, drop the jib, carefully turn the boat onto the desired course, and trim the sheet as required.
