Did you ever use your blooper or staysail? I was wondering if either of these would have a use in light air, either used as the only headsail off the wind. I am planning to try that next summer.

I can make a knot of boat speed with a knot of wind with it. It has a wire luff that we can fly with the 150 rolled up. This sail needs to be on the deck if the wind makes 8 knots true, but between 3 and 6 knots it is a great adder. Corsair came with this Drifter, a Blooper, and three spinnakers (1/2 oz, 3/4 oz and 1.5 oz). Corsair was purchased for the 71 Chi-Mac and the previous owners never got rid of anything (including the old EPIRB and Loran). We have 20 some odd sails hanging in the Pole barn (3 #1's, 2 #2's, 1 #3, Blooper, Drifter, Staysail, 3 Spins, Banana Staysail, etc). Anybody need any hanked on sails?

We had one in the late '60's (friend's boat) that was about 180%. If you flattened that out and made it with a bit more of a luff/leech consideration, you would have an asym.

I know when I stretch back Calypsos 25 year old ¾ oz spinny on a tight reach the clew is back where a 160 170% headsails would be.

We are assuming the pole = J. I don't know if asyms are necessarily smaller. There are some big-axx Code 0's out there. The penalty may be due, in part, to the greater efficiency on a beam reach.

I could see getting a rating hit for a sprit, just like a pole longer than J. Can't see why using an asym with standard pole would hurt his rating? Is he mounting the pole further forward? I think there is more to this.

Flies both from the pole. He gets a 3 second hit for the asym (Ches Bay) and does not think it is worth it for sailing on the Chesapeake (not a lot of east/west winds for reaching). But, finds it is very handy for Newport to Bermuda ("it was 'the bomb' last time"). Figure that the 3 seconds is always so there has to be a lot of reaching to make up for the windward and leeward parts of a race. And, he says it is a b...h to jibe. Must go all the way out in front of the boat as you are turning the boat - has many opportunities to tangle up. And, a heavy boat like his doesn't get that quick acceleration that a light one may. He's hoping that ChesBay PHRF will re-think their policy.
