Niall - Any pics or other recommendations would be a huge help. Like I mentioned below, the strength of the deck is one of my big concerns and I'm interested in how, or if, you reinforced that.

Works like a charm. I'll send you pics, if you like. Or you can shoot me some questions if you like. Cheers, Niall.

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.
