I used an Inter 18 f-18 chute on my N 5.5 uni, sheeted to the shroud with a 12' pole. I later moved the system to my P-19, still sheeting to the shroud. It worked fine. I now use a near-New England class N 6.O chute with a 15' pole and sheeted to the rear beam. I've had no trouble with the sheets being much in the way; if you know you're not going to be using the kite for a while, you can snug the sheets a bit and put slip knots in them. Oh, another thing: I use single ratchets on the rear beam, and turning blocks near the shrouds, so I get a good 150-degree wrap on my ratchets, and so the sheets actually exit to the boat at shrouds.
