Should be at least same adjustment as adding oversized spin pole

Hi Chuck G,

No, Ranger guy didn’t take a PRHF hit - which shows one of the many problems 
with PHRF in my RSA.  For his rating with the asym, our scorer and handicapper 
just used his spinnaker rating as if he was flying a symmetrical.

Yes if your son stays out here this summer, there are several good sailing 
scenes (Chatfield, Cherry Creek, Dillon) he can connect to.

Cheers,
Randy

From a different Chuck:
Randy,
Did the Ranger dude take a rating penalty for the sprit?  Also, if my son stays 
out in Colorado this summer between semesters at CSU, you’ll have access to an 
awesome bowman with tons of Asym experience (as well as conventional).  He’ll 
be looking for a ride for sure..

Chuck did you get a furler for your asym?  A top-down furler?  Guy in my club 
got one (and an asym) for his Ranger 28 last season and immediately kicked my 
ass with it.  Takes him about a minute to furl his upwind sail, unfurl the 
asym, and start accelerating.

He built a homemade bowsprit and, though it looks clunky, it works well enough 
to beat me downwind :)

I looked at the Selden sprits too.  I may have to join the arms race in my club.

Cheers,
Randy

I’d be interested in how your new sprit changes your PHRF rating.

I have thought about adding a sprit as well for limited crew racing or cruising 
and the Seldon looks well engineered.

In my case, my anchor roller complicates the matter in terms of fitting the 
sprit pole but the rating hit is
is also an issue.

My two cents:  Spartite looks like the best solution however it still needs a 
boot to protect from UVs and the price is too high for me.  Similar to 
PropSpeed, it's a good product but too much money for the benefit offered.

I'm not cheap.  I just ordered a Selden bow sprit kit.  Very expensive but 
couldn't figure out how to build my own as well engineered.  Bought a used Asym 
for it last year.  The sprit will add some fun to downwind sailing on  
Chesapeake Bay and make it easier to solo.
