Thanks for participating. An old question with hopefully a new answer.I have an inmast furling mainsail; love it for convenience; hate it for light wind conditions. On a small boat like a Hunter 290, probably wouldn't go furling again.But....we were wondering how to improve light air sailing. One suggestion was a 'club sail', a full roach mainsail to hoist on light air (and club racing, but we don't race) days. Other than the inconvenience of hauling and storing, would put the 290 at least back to where it would be without the inmast furling.A vertical batten sail was another answer; thanks for the falling dollar, a Maxiroach sail from overseas is now 30% more expensive than a year ago....so we kept looking.A better answer was suggested recently - an asymmetric spinnaker. Since it's for light air, the larger sail makes all sense in the world; it'll point up to 60 degrees, which is fine with me. It seems to be a great solution, bu the admiral requested I post this question first and see what the experts say...and along you came. Look forward to your thoughts, and again, thanks for participating.
