Re: Fore guy and tack line rigging&In-Reply-To=&lt;000c01c25f10$7 96e9180$47d...Just a reminder to those who may not remember. The SF 30 fleet voted to not allow asymmetrical spinnakers in the fleet.

  No affect on rating. That debate was settled over last year I believe. As far as size goes see attached.

  It is obviously a must need long distance sail and great light air sail also. Sometimes when we don't need to jib it we just hook it up to the existing symmetrical spinnaker rigging. Normally you need 2 guys to keep the pole in position and to jib back and forth with one long sheet (60 feet) and looped through in center. We gybe inside the sail just like a regular bow with assymetrical pole set-up. It takes getting used to but great spinnaker between 60 and 120 degrees.

    I am curious about the assymetric chute. Is it tacked down at the bow stem fitting? What size is the chute? How did it effect your PHRF rating? We had considered an assymetric chute but didn't want to mess with the rating.
