We do both, run a line from  the cockpit up to a block on the roller similar  to a roller furler, I have a stopper mounted to the toe rail near the cockpit.   We  have tacked it directly to the line, or the line to the pole.   I  have developed a sneaking suspicion that symmetrical spinnakers move the  boat better.   We have used Asyms in light to 25, have an A2, A3 and A4.   We use  a light #1 from 2-10, and a drifter below 2 StevePeregrine #312Seattle   From: Listserve [mailto:listserve-bounces at catalina38.org] On Behalf Of Marc-Andrea Klimaschewski1

Subject: [C38] Asymmetrical Sails Anyone using asymmetrical spinnakers on a Catalina 38? If so, do you tack them down to a pole or to a point somewhere near the anchor roller? What kind of conditions do you use them in? How about a Code 0? Anyone tried that or does a bigger genoa do the trick for you? Thanksmarc
