I’ve got two snap shackles on the bow for the genoas and with only one in use at a time. we tack the A kite there and do outside jibes. Have for reasons unknown, other than expediency on the race course, done inside jibe which generally results in a trip to the sailmakers for a repair.
For long distance sailing with A kite we set the spinnaker pole at pulpit height and fly it from there.
