Asymmetric spinnaker set up inside, everything seems to work well, only small flat the halyard that allows to go up the drain passes inside the sock without gusset, it will be necessary to see the use if the spinnaker 'does not wrap, the whole is good quality

Very good idea with mesh material - is light and easy in handling (when dry). However, 15 m long sock is for a big spinnaker (125-150 m2), but the circumference in lower parts is rather small. So, when the spinnaker is wet handling becomes very difficult. There is simply not enough space in the sock and during lifting spinnaker cannot slip the sock and follows it up (very annoying!). Another problem is lifting line which is outside the socket. This 15 m long line easily makes knots and loops around the sail when its down on the deck. What I have done is I placed the lifting line inside from the top and made an opening 3 m from the bell, so now I have only 4-5 m of the line outside when the sock is down.
The sock is of an excellent material, resistant and well made. However the line used to lift the sock runs inside the sock, but is not fixed to the inner edge, it shares the space with the gennaker. For this reason, it sometimes rolls up around the sail, and cannot be raised. So halfway up you have to lower everything, look for the top by hand inside the sock, and try to place it on one side of the sock. In order for the product to work well it would take a separate channel for the rope, so that it can slide freely protected by the sail (in other models the rope to lift the sock slides outside the sock)

The ordered and delivered within 24 hours hose should be 14.20 meters long. Honored measured but only 13.00 meters. Suppliers error ??? Easy Returns, but now holidays without Gannacker!
