The Chutescoop
Finally! A spinnaker furling system that's easy to use and easy on your wallet!
We are pleased to offer the Chutescoop from the V.F. Shaw Company of Bowie, Maryland. Our version of the Chutescoop has been designed to handle both the factory issued and Kelly-Hanson C2000 cruising spinnakers without modifications of any kind!
The Chutescoop is constructed using white ripstop nylon and has a strong stainless steel ring sewn in a pocket at the bottom of the sleeve. A smooth dacron cloth facing covers the ring to provide a slippery surface to slide over the sail. The top of the sleeve tapers to enclose a specially designed pendant and swivel. Two small lines are attached to opposite sides of the bottom ring and passed through one large pocket on the outside of the sleeve to a block at the top of the sleeve. The two lines ensure a straight lift of the bottom of the sleeve. After passing through the block shive, the two lines exit the sleeve and are attached to a heavier line called the Control Halyard, which is used to to pull the sleeve up or down to open or furl the sail. The Control Halyard is also attached to a bridle on the bottom ring, thus forming an endless loop. The lines that operate the sleeve never come in contact with the sail as they are always on the outside of the sleeve.
All materials used in the construction are first quality and strong enough to allow reefing of the spinnaker if desired! The white cloth contains no dye so a wet sleeve cannot stain your sail. All sleeves contain a small strip of colored nylon dewn into the seam so you can tell if the sleeve is twisted.
The Chutescoop comes completely assembled and required only a few minutes to install on your sail.
