In this position, unless the wind is really up, you don't need to use the foreguy.
Forgive me if my terminology is a bit limited - yesterday was the first time I've ever been on a boat with a spinnaker, and it was quite a bit to take in - but we are hooked! My understanding that the "downhaul" is mounted close to the base of the mast, or "foreguy" in the more forward position. Am I to understand that with your twings mounted where they were, you didn't use downhaul or foreguy...? Or you always use downhaul, but not always the foreguy?
