The "Spinnaker 47-1/2 feet sock" refers to a spinnaker dousing sock or sleeve used in sailing, which is a device designed to help manage and douse (lower) a large spinnaker sail easily and safely. The 47.5 feet measurement indicates the required length for a specific size of the sock, typically based on the sail's luff or leech length.
Easy Handling: Spinnaker socks are widely used by both cruising and racing sailors, especially those with small or single-handed crews, because they make setting and dousing the sail much easier.
Protection: They protect the valuable sail from damage and help in keeping the lines from getting tangled.
Design: The device is essentially a tapered sleeve, usually made of light, breathable mesh or nylon fabric, with a fiberglass or stainless steel hoop at the mouth to guide the sail in and out.
Operation: A continuous control line runs through an external pocket to raise and lower the sock over the sail while the sail is still hoisted.
Sizing: The specific length (47.5 feet in your query) is critical for proper function and is matched to the dimensions of the spinnaker sail it will be used with, often the leech length (SLE)
