http://www.sailrite.com/ATN-Spinnaker-Sock-up-to-55-Boats-to-45 Use the ATN Spinnaker Sleeve with your spinnaker, cruising spinnaker, and mizzen staysail. It's a simple idea that works amazingly well.
The problem is not to hoist the sail but to get it back on the boat. That's when the spinnaker sleeve makes the average sailboat owner a great sailor. Without any help, he makes that very powerful and expensive sail disappear with a minimum of fuss and trauma. And the sail is ready to be hoisted again immediately, no more packing!
The sail is already hoisted inside the sock. Simply attach a halyard to the sock's top and hoist it fully. Make sure that there are no twists in the sock by checking the colored strip that runs the length of the sock. Pull the uphaul and the sail will fill. To douse the sail, free the uphaul and pull the downhaul. The sail collapses and is packed at the same time.
