Abstract
An apparatus for dousing a spinnaker sail on a sailboat. The apparatus can include a remote releasable line lock device attached to a lower portion of the spinnaker. A retrieval line for dousing the spinnaker can pass through the remote releasable line lock device and can be attached to an upper portion of the spinnaker. The remote releasable line lock device can include a housing having two cams with at least one cam being movable and biased toward the second cam and positioned to grip the retrieval line. The movable cam can have a cam actuator extending through the sidewall of the housing and can move the movable cam away from the second cam to release the retrieval line. A remote release device can be provided to operate the cam actuator and release the retrieval line when the remote releasable line lock device is positioned in the remote release device.
