Thanks for all who have given me advice in the past. I am still trying to figure out the best way to use my screacher and spinnaker on my Dragonfly 25C Tri.

It is my uneducated belief that I could use one of those Chutescoops (for flying a sail or retriving a sail) on either a screacher or a asymetrical spinnaker. I am still a little confused as to when I would use one type of sail as opposed to another. Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, the Chutescoop manufacturer has different criteria for ordering chutescoops when using a whisker pole and when poleless. I have a bow sprit and a pole that attaches to the bow of the boat. It extends past the bow about 3 feet. Should I plan to use the pole or should I use the sails in a poleless fashion. Are there any pros or cons? Thanks in advance for any advice.
