[C38] Asym

[Phil Gay]

Steve,

 

I probably mentioned that we gybed the asym inside the luff of the asym and
outside of the forestay.  I don't have that much experience since I was
crewing on other boats.  Congratulations on your finish as I know the wind
were pretty light.

Hi All, 

 

We had our first race today, a very casual series and had not intended to
fly the chute until we had had properly rigged her for easy chute work, well
after rounding the mark and watching the other chutes go up, well the
competitveness came out and we put it up anyway.   Imagine my surprise when
the bag marked cruising spinnaker actually had a chute cut for a much
smaller boat,  yep we had so much visibility under that sail it was truley
amazing, not to mention a little embarrasing.  (we did finish 1 second off
of first).  I reviewed earlier posts for asym measurements and only found
one response with measurements.  Does anyone have any current data on
dimensions.   We also rigged it for gybing around the front of the forestay,
with the genoa on a roller furler I didnt like the chafing of the sheet on
the new sail, Phil you mentioned gybing it inside like a head sail, any
other suggestions, I know Alden uses the sock for each gybe.

wondering if you block the keel level or the boat level when you put it on
the stands, or does it matter?  Right now they have the keel blocked level
and the bow dips about 8 inches. We will be storing Joint Adventure on the
hard for about a year. Thanks.

You want to block your boat so it drains.  Otherwise you will get a pool 
in the cockpit and depending where you are, moldy water accumulation on 
deck.  This could be especially problematic if it pools around chain 
plates...     If it is likely to freeze (obviously not a problem for 
you!), this is even more important as an ice block in the cockpit can 
really do some damage when it expands!   I block my keel further forward 
as experience over the years has shown the infamous "smile" Rich West 
remarks about seems to be less of a problem.
One issue you might want to watch for is stand stability.  I am guessing 
you are probably on some type of crushed coral, but hard rains can erode 
around your boat stands.  I always get back to the boat within a few 
days of if first going on the hard to tighten up the jack stands and 
ensure the chains make sense.
 
Hope this helps,
