Does anyone use twings with their class spinnaker? If so, what conditions do you use them under? Where did you mount them on the boat, and what hardware did you use?

We used twings once with the genoa (not class, I know). We used spectra line tied to 40mm Harken carbo airblocks, around a stanchion. The hard part is where to tie/cleat the leads; we never came up with a great solution to that.

I kept the setup; next time I might shackle a block to the stanchion base and run the twings through those.

We had previously replaced the original forward 40mm spinnaker blocks with 57mm ratchamatics.
