[C38] Asymmetrical Sails

[Steve Smolinske]

Yes, make sure  to drive down and let the chute collapse before gybing,
biggest  issues  have been clearing the lazy sheet around the pulpit and
bow roller, modified the bow pulpit to help keeps lines from going
between rails.

Do you gybe the asyms outside of the headstay then? Just curious how
well that works under racing conditions.

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

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?

 

Thanks

marc
