Spinnaker set-up

when you have racing in your soul, you always want to perform and have the best set-up and trimming for the sails.
For the spinnaker, designed as I wanted by Incidences sails, I wanted to be able to cover the range between 130 and 170 true wind angle (TWA).
I have recycled a running backstay from Naos 30 (pacific cup 2012) and use it as a tack line for the spinnaker . So I can trim like if I would have an afterguy.
i also added a barber hauler to control the leech ofb The spunnaker.
In 8-9 knots of wind , I can sail at 5-5,5 knots at 140 degrees TWA. in 15 knots of breeze we go at 10 knots average at 165 degrees TWA.
