Sailing Anarchy's sailing forum has a thread going on a closely related topic. Look for "Asymmetrics on standard poles..." or something similar. This thread seemed to have an unusual amount of useful info for a SA topic.
Part way through the thread there are some pictures of articulating sprits and some descriptions of how to gybe a asymmetric on a non-planing boat. There are several comments on what type of gear/attachment issues popped up when an asymmetrical is flown by a boat designed for the old school style of flying sails. Also, several good discussions on where the asymmetric vs. symmetrical payoff is.

Anyone been down that road? One major concern I have is making sure the deck is strong enough for the load.
