About 18 Months ago I added a small block under the spinnaker tack with the line going to the cockpit, while I was at it I ran the Chutescoop controls to the cockpit, due to family problems there hasn't been a lot of time for sailing (correction - No time for sailing), I'm still curious how well it will work, I'm still debating adding a bowsprit to move the spinnaker out a bit further.

Fair winds to all

I did the same and it is run back to cockpit. Works really well, even if solo chute flying. Only do this in under 10mph winds though...
Always better to have a crew.
