I am thinking about buying an asymetrical spinnaker for my h26 but would like some input on a few things: #1. I have roller furling so I have the jib halyard idle while sailing (only use it to raise the mast). Can I use the jib halyard as a spin. halyard, or is it to heavy for a light wind sail? #2. Since I will be using it in light wind it seems to me that I want as much sail area as possible. Can I rig a halyard from the top of the mast and order a bigger sail? It seems that when you go sail shopping they ask what type of boat you have and say here's you're sail. #3. How much wind can an h26 handle with a spinnaker flying? #4. Any expertise on the best way to rig an asymetrical on a h26 would be welcomed. #5. Does anybody besides Doyle make asymetrical spinnakers? Big Curt Damselfly

Asymetrical Spinnaker

Curt: Last year, I got an asymetrical for my boat. In the short term, I used my jib halyard, but have since added a block half way between the top of the forestay
