Dumb question, but I haven't been around asymmetrical spins at all. When you gybe, how do you get an asymmetrical spinnaker to the other side? Do you have to collapse it, change course, then relaunch it? Or do you work it between the slot in front of the jib in some fashion? Having seen pictures of some large-footed asymmetrical spinnakers, it makes me wonder how the process works...
Also, I've posted a question about the size spin I need to look for on my other current posting, "Spinnaker on a 14'?". I'd love input from anyone with experience. Thanks to all who are taking the time to help!

Just make sure you put some kind of loop about 3' up on the front of mast and run bungee from corner of front crossbar thru loop and to other corner of crossbars. Put sheeets outside shrouds and bungeee. This will keep the sheets from hanging up if blocks are not on the crossbars. Mine our of the rear crossbar on tramp tracks. This keeps the sheets from getting hung up under mast. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
