Yes, I added an aluminum plate on the top of the mast to get the spin halyards out past the forestay. I also fly only Asyms. For the longer distance races I sail I wouldn’t go back to sym. Simple, fast and less crew needed.
I don’t use a top down furler so can’t help you there. >From those that I know that do, a sock has same reliability and a lot cheaper. If racing, check with you local rating officials to make sure you understand the adjustments that will be applied. Hope that helps.

I'm interested in any information from folks here that have done a similar conversion: positives, negatives, cautionary tales? One thing I'm concerned about is that my mast does not have a crane, the spinnaker halyards exit right next to the genoa halyard. If I add a top-down furler I'm nervous everthing is gonna get a bit congested. Have any of you added a masthead crane to move the halyards out a bit? Thanks in advance, Luke SV Zella C&C 35-3
