[C320-list] Asymmetrical Spinnaker instillation

[pat reynolds]

 an asym would be best with the bowsprit as it is projected farther out.  If you are serious about racing I would forgo the cost of the asym and get a symmetrical for a much wider range.  This is a little more costly as you need a pole and a couple more blocks but you can keep it simple at first.  If you are in the downtown area or south, we are at the Hammond marina and would be glad to have you out for a demonstration on a wednesday night race.

 I am looking to add Asymmetrical  Spinnaker to my Catalina 320 Hull #14 I
would prefer the racing sail , currently I am racing with Jib and Main

I live in Chicago and I am hopping to buy a used sail that will get me
through  this summer

I am also looking for some info on how to rig the Asym. sail,

I have seen some people (on other boats) using the Anchor roller by passing
a line and hook it to the Asym tack at one end and hook it to the Bow cleat
at the other end (simple stuff)

I also wondering if anyone attempted to install retractable SELDEN *Bowsprit
