Asymmetrical on the 35.5L

[Frank]

Does anyone have experience rigging an asymmetrical spinnaker on a H. Legend 35.5? Do I need a turning block and if so where should it be mounted? Tips on using or rigging the ATN dousing sleeve?

A local sample

Frank, we have a 35.5 in Rock Hall (at Haven Harbour). We have an asym that we purchased 2 seasons ago with an ATN - be glad to show it to you if you'd like.

What's an ATN?

I've never heard of an ATN...could someone please explain?

ATN

Rich, the ATN is a brand name of a device which takes the place of the sock which is used to douse the spinnaker. It contains a collar made of fiberglass along with a nylon sheath, which is raised and lowered in order to encase or release the sail.

ATN is a trade name

for a sleeve/sock with a collar used to douse a gennaker or spinnaker. They are located in Fort Lauderdale.
