Code 0 (ZERO)

[sailme88]

So the question is: Have any of you sailors converted your asymmetrical spinnaker to a Code 0 AND added a forward furler to accommodate it?

What do you mean 'converted your asym'? I'm assuming you do not mean re-cutting the sail. That will not work. If you mean switching sails, you can do that but will lose performance on deeper angles (140+). The code will fly in most conditions, but be much less efficient when sailing deeper. Ideally you keep and have both.

I agree. And both are best flown from forward furlers, ideally on a bowsprit.
