Re: spinnaker halyard

[Steve Nichols <aussieswift@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I lay the spinnaker along the port side of the boat, retrieval line comes out 
of the throat, underneath bottom of spinnaker to the outside of spinnaker 
through first retrieval patch up on inside of spinnaker and then through last 
retrieval patch I do 2 figure of 8s on top of each other to make certain 
halyard doesn't pull through patch on the drop - there is a lot of pressure 
there sometimes.
   
  Helpful hint another figure of 8 knot on the halyard 1 foot under the last 
retrieval patch helps to get the spinnaker back into the throat that little but 
faster and help stop your boat becoming a prawn trawler.  
   
  Disclaimer This works on the 59er which has the same size kite so I presume 
it is the same system on the Swift Solo

          How is the covered end of the spinnaker halyard finished?  How does 
it attach to the retrieval patches?
