Do most boats on the Chesapeake (or elsewhere) douse into the companionway? We've been dousing down the forward hatch. Our theory has been that the J-30 has such a small cockpit, the last thing we need back there is a spinnaker to suck into a jib car. Not to mention the pit person is making sure the halyard runs clean which would be difficult to do with a handfull of spinnaker in your way. How does it work on your boat?
