Should be at least same adjustment as adding oversized spin pole From: Randy Stafford via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: January 21, 2021 4:05 PM To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Randy Stafford <randal.staff...@icloud.com> Subject: Stus-List Re: Sprits and Asyms
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.

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..

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.

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.

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. Chuck Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
