The best sheets ever are waht we have on our 14, 6mm at the business
end of things narrowing down the 3mm kevlar sheets for the attachment
to the kite and the bits of sheet that end up in the chute

Go for Harken auto-rachets and 6mm sheets, work really well (5K and 49er!)

Your using 10mm sheets? Are you sure it wouldn't be faster to use 6mm at the very most. I know didley squat about your class, but can't understand justifying using 10mm spinnaker sheets. |

I looked at the Ronstan's but they don't got to 10mm sheets. Obscene I grant you, I remember the days when crews had to use 4mm sheets and a decent pair of gloves but have you tried to get a crew theser days??? Harken looks really nice, but are auto ratchets the one to use?
