Actually, you want a spinnaker curling almost constantly - an "Elvis curl." Otherwise it's strapped and not working as eficiently as possible. The trimmer should be in near constant motion - easing the sheet until the luff curls and trimming in just until it stops, being careful not to overtrim. That will keep the boat fast.
