Has anyone flown a chute from the mizzen, I will be bringing our 365 home to TX from FL next week and one of my crew is thinking we can use the chute from his boat and fly it from the mizzen!

Has anyone done this & if so how effective is it.

They do make mizzen spinackers.  We have a Missen staysail and love it.  It is our favorite sail to fly.  In the first photo below you can see the sheet attached to the end of the Mizzen boom.



Now....here she is flying on the other tack.



I just love these photos....
