Flying an assymetrical

[Nauti-Duck]

Bill,I would like to fly my Doyle assymetical ahead of my furled genoa. Any suggestions regarding how I may rig the tack? The Nauti-Duck has an anchor roller and a bow pulpit.

Really Easy

I rig mine to the bow pulpit and have great results. Try to get it secured as far forward as you can. Any good holding knot you're comfortable with works fine. Fly On!

The Only Real Problem

If *buying* an asymetrical were as easy as flying it, life would truly be grand.

Flying an Asymmetrical

You should have no problem tacking your asymmetrical forward of your furling drum, as long as you locate a good strong location on the bow. Your anchor roller sounds like a great spot. Just make sure the tack line is adjusted so that the sail does not chafe on the bow pulpit.Bill Colombo, Doyle SF
