Spinnaker Accessories


ATN Spinnaker Sleeve

Use the ATN Spinnaker Sleeve with your spinnaker, cruising spinnaker, mizzen staysail or our exclusive Generator. It's a simple idea that works amazingly well.
​
The problem is not usually hoisting the sail but getting it back in the bag. That's when a spinnaker sleeve makes the average sailboat owner a great sailor. Without any help, he can make a big, powerful sail disappear with a minimum of fuss or drama. 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. To douse, free the uphaul and pull the downhaul. The sail collapes and is packed at the same time.
​
The ATN Spinnaker Sleeve features the following:
​
  • High-tech, ultra-light Kevlar hoop matches the shape of the spinnaker and will not warp under load.
  • Single control line led through separate sleeve eliminates fouling.
  • "Intrepid" line which will not kink.
  • Contrasting visual reference stripe.
  • Wire pennant with swivel at head of spinnaker prevents sleeve from affecting sail shape by allowing the sleeve to accumulate along the pennant.
  • Mesh construction allows the sail to breathe, so it drives quicker, even while stored.
​
ATN suggests ordering a sleeve based on the length of your sail's leech plus one foot.

The Chutescoop

The V.F. Shaw Company invented the first spinnaker sleeve in 1979 and has been refining the product ever since.
​
The Chutescoop is constructed using white 1.90 oz. spinnaker nylon and has been designed to fit most sailing yachts up to 45'. Every Chutescoop has a strong stainless steel hoop sewn into a pocket at the bottom of the sleeve. A smooth Dacron cloth covers the hoop which creates a slippery surface for the sail to slide over. The top of the Chutescoop tapers to enclose a specially designed pendant and swivel. Two small lines are attached to opposite sides of the bottom ring and pass through a pocket on the outside of the sleeve to a block at the top. These two lines ensure a straight lift of the bottom of the sleeve. After passing through the block, the two lines exit the sleeve and are attached to a heavier line called the Control Halyard. This is used to raise or lower the Chutescoop over the sail.
​
Chutescoop spinnaker sleeves are completely assembled, simple to install and are available in 9 pre-cut models:

The ATN Tacker

​The ATN Tacker is a great aid when flying a cruising spinnaker. First, it keeps the tack of the chute close to the center line of the boat without chafing or scoring the furled headsail. It also allows for easy adjustment of the height of the tack. A single line allows easy changes to sail shape.
 
Here is the sequence: Attach the halyard to the spinnaker's head, the sheet to the spinnaker's clew, the downhaul to the spinnakers tack where the Tacker has already been shackled. Pass the Tacker around the furled headsail, clip the snap shackle onto the spinnaker's tack and hoist away.  Trim the sheet and the downhaul and you are sailing. The downhaul, in most cases, can be replaced by a rope pennant always on the spinnaker's tack, making the operation even easier.
