At the C&C rendezvous on Thetis Island in BC some of us were
discussing this with a fellow fro UK sails. Options I am considering
are having a SS extension to my bow roller to extend a foot or two
off the bow for the asym. Some thought it also advisable to have a
short extension on the masthead to extend the halyard out about 6-8"
as a permanent mount to allow for the use of furling on the asym
without any potential fouling of the stays..
The strength of the bow roller is a concern. But I suspect it is
pretty solid.
The spar options looks interesting as well.
I'd love to have the thoughts from our crack team of experts in this idea...

This will be an interesting thread. The tack point is always a
marvel of boatyard engineering so I can't wait to get some ideas.
