Just bought an A3 reaching spin from doyle. was wondering if anyone has used one of these. How do you rig it to the boat. how tight do you fly the tack line. We have had it out once in about 7 knots of wind. the luff seems a little long. when the tack is pulled in as tight as it will go its still loose. any help would be grest.

Not sure how yours is cut. Ours is designed to be flown from the spin pole - pole set all the way down to the pulpit
