If you are planning to gybe around the front of the boat the rule of
thumb for sheet length is twice the boat length. You can probably knock
25% off that length with a single line sheet (both ends connected to the
tack). I pull the snuffer down to gybe mine so I get away with a much
shorter sheet (although, to be fair, it was much longer until I caught
it in the prop.)
Good Luck

Great, thanks gentlemen - very helpful.
So, I would assume the tack downhaul block aft of the furler is
attached to the two u-bolts on deck where, on Windstar, there are
currently two snap shackles permanently mounted. (Used for halyards,
pre-Furler?). Basically at the top of the chain plate. The tack
downhaul would, in practice fly between the Furler drum and pulpit,
aft of the pulpit, harmlessly massaging the Furler drum. I have one
of those web-strap deals that can slide up and down the furled Jenny.
Used on my spin halyard.
I have the foredeck padeye, fair leads and cam cleat on stbd side of
cabin top. Stock I believe.
The halyard. I can't think of any reason that I need three headsail
halyards lead aft. Can you guys think of any reason NOT to have one
of the wing halyards permanently belayed at the mast, and the other
run back to the cockpit? This would allow for crewed/non crewed
spinnaking, less cabin-top clutter. (Anyone tamed that?)
Last question - by any chance, did you note the length/dia of the
sheets? The sail will probably be bagged for the winter, but at least
I can get prepared! (A-Spin is .75oz, 74.07 m sq., FYI. Custom, not
stock, so fitted to I 13.56m, j 3.98m.)
Thanks again!
Dave.

I take my tack to a block just aft of the furler. I also have a wide
web that wraps around the furled headsail and keeps the tack near
centerline. Ease the tack as you get further downwind.
Halyard definitely at the mast. Yes, use the outer halyards. On a
three-halyard masthead only the "wings" can be used for the spinnaker,
but all should work for the white sails.
Cheers

I have the same tack setup on my 33ii as described by Andrew Burton; a
block just aft of the furler led to a cam cleat on the stbd side of
the cockpit.
My halyards are all led aft to the cabin top, PITA when raising the
gennaner but I have a cleat on the side of the mast which I use to
temporarily tie off the halyard. Make sure you drop the sock on the
same side you raised it on or you may have an issue with a halyard wrap.

Just ordered my cruising chute from Rolly Tasker in Thailand and am
looking forward to trying it out.. Probably next season. Have flown
my symmetrical a few times singlehanded.
Considering how to do this on Windstar and am curious about how
others have addressed a few things:
-Halyard at cockpit. In this case it might make sense to have
halyard at mast - this way halyard, and spin-sock can be dealt with
together.
-Halyard at masthead. On the 33-2 there are three halyards
available, all are in-masthead sheaves, parallel to each other . I
currently use the centre one for the Genoa, and any other halyard
chafes its neighbour on one tack.
-Tack downhaul. There isn't one forward of the furler drum. The
downhaul itself can be rigged using the spin-pole downhaul line, fair
leads and cleats, but the fixed, forward tack is a problem to be
resolved.
Many thanks for any guidance!
