Captain Pete continued to use the "big spinnaker" (or "spinny") intermittently throughout his voyages with Miss Kiss, notably setting a personal record of over 1,400 nautical miles on it during the 2010 Pacific crossing. In March 2024, while sailing toward Brunei, he noted that he had "finally put up [the] big spinnaker" and that it was still in good shape, though he remarked he had not used it in "many years".
