The simplicity of the UK Flasher ® is further enhanced by the addition
of the UK Stasher. The UK Stasher is a sleeve that gives you complete
control over the Flasher ® when setting or dousing the sail. The unique
design of UK's Stasher offers advantages over all other manufactured dousing
socks (see drawing for construction details). Pulling on the control line
raises the sleeve to the top of the sail, allowing it to fill and set.
A pull in the other direction encases the Flasher ® in the sleeve, which
permits trouble-free lowering of the sail. Singlehanded ocean racers could
not fly a spinnaker without a dousing sock like the Stasher. |
