Kent - those are some serious waves if you get water on the foredeck going downwind. I like the idea of a bag to stuff the chute into hanging in the companionway. Is it the same turtle you use on the rail to launch the chute? I've seen those used on J24s. The pit person just chases the tapes in the bag and leaves the lines hooked up. Then they just throw the sail out the side of the boat and hoist the halyard and guy at the same time. Works nicely for a small spinnaker like that on the J24. Do you do the same or do you take the bag foreward to the rail for sets?
