Any of you old enough to remember the 'drifters'? 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.

Maybe the PHRF rating people see an asso much like a 150+% genny.

 

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

I'm a little surprised too.  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 appreciate the analysis of when each sail is preferred, reaching vs
running, but isn't an asym smaller than a full spinnake?  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.

I checked with my expert - Cal 40 with both regular and asym. 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.
