[Public-List] Rigging the Asymetrical Spinnaker

[C.B. Currier]

The cruising ASyms I have sailed went outside. To go inside with an asym
on the bow would be too tight. On the Melges 24 we do inside jibes as it
is cleaner, faster & more efficient in that boat but in big air the
best control is gained through an outside jibe. Also you are less likely
to get cloth tied up etc.
So go outside or figure out how to rig an
asym pole to the deck!
Consider extra length sheets to always go
outside. And be careful as you are likely to loose lines under the boat.
Keep everything well managed as you go around.
