Also make sure the belly cord goes under the sheet as well.

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?
