Yes thats Northport, though that picture

was my old boat (Watkins 27) . She was named Veni Vidi. I'm not sure if that "continuous single sheet" question was aimed at me or not. As for my single sheet set-up, I don't have continuous single sheet, but rather just one sheet that I move from port and starboard as required.

Rob: I've been using my cruising spin all last summer and had a ball with it single handed.I only attach one sheet.I douse it with the sock when I want to jibe . its a matter of choice. I made an 18 inch bow sprit, bolted to the head stay fitting, then I but a block at the end for my tack line. then the tack line runs all the way back to the cockpit where I can adjust the tack when changing points of wind....loose downwind, (tack at boom level) tighter when beam reaching(tack at bow pulpit top rail) or real tight when close reaching (pulled down to bow sprit) lots of fun and it loves to close reach. Best winds to you. John Saindon "Stuart Little" cat 25 srfk
