Description
ATN The Tacker lets you sail a conventional symmetric spinnaker like an asymmetric without a pole, simplifying off-wind trim and handling. By controlling the tack over the furled headsail, it holds the spinnaker's luff close to centerline for cleaner, more stable sail shape. Adjustable and easy to release, it's a smart upgrade for cruising spinnaker control.
