osmepneo came with both a cruising chute and a regular spinniker. The cruising chute is Knight Sails, and I've used only a couple of times, but it seemed to help in light air. I'm thinking about using it this w/e in our Long Distance Race.

got a used symetrical at minney's in newport beach ca
i sail a tall rig and the sail size is 32 ft luff and 19 ft girth.
paid about $300 and it's lots of fun.
i can singlehand until about 6-7 then i need more hands.
i bought a sock at the chicago boat show and have it rigged.
the winds have been far too light

would buy one again

I bought a kit from SailRite and sewed it together. Got the custom colors that I wanted for a bargain price.

I'm used to symetrical spinnakers, so I sewed a turtle together also and launch it from that. I figured it was less deck clutter than rigging a dousing sock.
