[C320-list] spinnaker

[Denny Browne]

I hang one stern block from the horn cleat that the furling line cleats to,
but the load on the block isn't perfect. On the starboard side, I attached
one of those little straps to the stanchion base. This appears to be
inadequate for the load, but a rigger I had out recently told me it was
fine. I'm planning to put one on the other side as well, rather than adding
folding padeyes, which are a better but much more expensive option. I use
small Garhauer blocks which work fine.

Being very new at this I was wondering what additional
hardware was necessary to control the sheets of an
assymetrical and what is the ideal placement of the
extra rigging. I would guess that blocks aft would be
necessary but wonder where they would best be attached
and how. Does it depent on the size and shape of the
sail for (example a code 1 versus a larger variety).
