[quote=MN3][quote]the new one comes with ring attached to a small line on every patch. Is it really helping with burn holes[/quote]
I have never seen a spin with the rings attached via line, but it sounds like a great idea to reduce spin burn during hoist/douce
[quote]do i need stopper balls for best retrieves (my snuffer mouth is large with 1,5 inch curved lips). [/quote]
I can't speak for your setup but adding one or 2 stopper balls greatly helped me spread out the sail so it didn't get bunched up in the ring or sock (i haven't rigged my spins in years so i can't recall if it was one or 2)
[quote]Secondly, can i retrieve from both tacks or am i limited to the tack side that have the line behind pulling on the patch for it to be effective.[/quote]
I could but doing it from the same tack as the hoop is on made for much smoother dousing, less of a chance of it getting jammed up in the hoop/spa (edit spaR: what i meant was it can get wedged in the space between the hoop and the spar), plus almost definatly less wear on the sail<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Apr 05, 2022 - 07:58 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
