[C320-list] asymetric spinnaker or genneker

[Chris Burti]

Still learning and playing with one I bought this past year.

Sucks dead down wind with the main up. Couldn't get it quit luffing
quartering, but that was due to my lack of knowledge in either
rigging, trimming or both.

I am eager to hear some tips from those who use them successfully.
