We also have a cleat on the mast for the spin halyard, and never take it back to the halyard stopper in the cockpit.
The compainway bag we use on Planxty is just a square spinnaker bag North happens to be using lately. It's magically the perfect size! I'm sure that wasn't really planned

Re-pack the chute? Detach sheets? No need for either! What comes down must go up (well, most of the time at least). We never have to send someone below to re-pack. Stuff the chute into the bag, leave everything attached, and set right from the companionway. The crew stays up on the rail (where they belong).
