I have a 27' hunter 1984. On the Chesapeake Bay I with light air I have been using a 150 Genoa. Has anyone tried an Asymetrical Spinaker with their boat? Is there a seperate Spinaker Halyard Sheave at the top of the mast? If you have an Asymetrical please send me the demensions i.e. luff, leach, foot, and I think there is one called girth? Thanks.

Lady Lilli has a Doyle Asymetric

like the ones offered on this site, and we love it! We already had a bail extending forward of the forestay at the mast-head, so installing the halyard block was easy. We fasten the tackline to the toerail after a wrap around the bow pulpit to hold it forward. The sheet goes to an opening turning block at the aft end of the toerail. I don't have the dimensions. Doyle, or any other sailmaker will have them. If they don't, then they should come to your boat to measure - or teach you how to get what they need if you are doing mail order. It's a great sail for cruising! Converted about a day and a half from iron genny to sailing during our last one week cruise on Lake Erie. David Lady Lillie '77 h27
