APC Rigging . . .?

[Steven Gautney]

Santa brought us an APC (asymetrical spinnaker), but I would like to hear from others about how the sail tack is rigged. One sail site suggested attaching the tack to the forestay, the adjusting the height by the tack line. I have roller furling that makes this impossible? Where should the block for the tack line be placed? Should the sail tack be attached to the rigging other than a pulpit block? Some have suggested this be simply attached to the pulpit rail, but again this somehow isn't going to look right?

In front of the forestay

My sailmaker told my to rig my APC around my forestay to a point close to it on the windward side of the boat. I have a snap shackle that I lead around to the foremost hole in the rail.I also considered rigging a cable harness with an eye between my two bow cleats, but this would interfere with the lines there (jack lines underway, and bowlines at the dock.
