Hi all,
I had an exchange some time ago with Syntonos on flying the chute on the Yam 25. I have done it solo now in very light winds using a tiller tamer, launch, 3 gybes, douse. This was my symmetrical kite. Don't have a cruising/assym chute yet. My questions are:
1) When flying the symmetrical, where do you all run the sheet and guy through? I had used the two fixed "wheels" or blocks on port and starboard forward of the jib winches and used the cabin top winches if needed. I'm wondering if any of you chute flyers ran the sheet and guy towards the back of the cockpit and used snatchblocks.
2) If any of you used snatchblocks towards the rear of the boat, where did you attach them? The toe rails? The stanchions?
3) For a cruising chute, where did you run the sheet and guy? Would it be the same for a symmetrical chute?
Thanks,
Adrian
