PHRF in most regions would assess a penalty for going beyond the forestay, so
check with your area before you buy.

Got it. When the Js get on a plane there isn't a lot you can do. I still
wouldn't go back to syms. Asyms are so much easier and a lot more
efficient sail when reaching - which we're doing 90% of the time off the
wind.
Good luck with the project.

I share your frustration finding/keeping experienced crew for racing. There are
so many other things going on, family commitments, work, travelling, in
everyone's life, it's hard to get a strong commitment from enough people to
field a strong team on a regular basis. I like the two handed races
Neil,
Agreed, but I think that these are different boats. I guess the wider the
boat, the more true what you say is. Obviously, centerboard dinghies use
that (the CB moves outside and provides the righting moment). I was always
under impression that traditional keel boats (especially the older one
Hi Pete,
Our fleet is turning sprit. We have:
Sprit/Asym:
J-109
J-97
J-92
J-88
Evelyn 32 with retro sprit
Symmetrical:
C&C 34/36
Tripp 37
Tripp 37c
Olson 30
No plans at this point to fly a code Zero at this point.
Best,

Mike, Bill -
Here’s an excerpt I was given from LMPHRF:
Handicapping Spinnakers 2009
* Both symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnakers are allowed and both
may be used while racing.
* LMPHRF assumes spinnakers are tacked to a spinnaker pole, prod,
bowsprit or are tacked to the center

I'm going through the same exercise right now. We've been racing 2 yrs with
an asym not on a sprit but tacked to the forepeak. We mostly do
mid-distance/point to point races and less frequently do buoys. We've had
good luck in the light air around here, but struggle against the sym boat
Ditto, I was thinking of adding a long bow roller for this hoping no one
would notice, 8^ ) but when brought up b4 PHRFLE I think they said it would
be their standard 6 sec.

CAn you send to me or list a link to your PHRF area rule on this? We
are looking at this question in Nova Scotia where it is not currently
well defined.

I certainly liked sailing with an asymmetric kite on my J/80. Easier than using
a standard kite and on that boat a lot more fun.

Hi all,
My winter project this year is to install a deck mounted bowsprit and fly
an asymmetric spinnaker while racing.
I am going for the max length with out a PHRF penalty, which in our YRA is
24% of J. This will give me a sprit that is 42.6 inches.
This decision is driven by a couple things.
