[Public-List] rigging asym

[via Public-List]

I have a moveable bow sprit combined with a selden furler. My aspin is
a doyle UPS sail. Works like a dream. I furl rather than gybe - easier
and less chance of damaging the sail. The set up was worth every penny
I paid for it. It works well and can be single handed.

 Wes and Michael,

 I would not do outside jibes. You run a high risk of running over the
lazy sheet. A much worse result than dragging the sail thru the
triangle . 

 One way to create more room is to ease the tackline 5ft.Before the
jibe.

 Much safer.

first time I tried it I accidentally did an "inside" jibe, stuffing it
just ahead of the rolled up jib. With a little more breeze, an
"outside" works OK. You need to have very long sheets for the
"outside" as the clew needs to "flap out in front like a flag" then
you turn and haul in the new active sheet.
