Tom A friend did this on his Montvideo 43 complete with the furling asym. We raced last year to Bermuda with that. Contact me off list and I can share his contact information. I am certain he would love to share all the details of his installation Mike

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...

The tack point is always a marvel of boatyard engineering so I can't wait to get some ideas.
