I fly my chute asym tacked to the forestay with a “tacker” that fits around the furled jib. A sprit is not required, but it does make the boat go faster, thus the penalty.

I have a 1995 C&C 36XL/kcb which flys an enormous but PHRF legal masthead kite 0.75 oz. I club race and cruise in NC and have considered an A sail but never pursued it because if used with a bow sprit the local penalty to my rating is excessive IMHO (of course!). It sounds as though your asy is not flown from a sprit. If that is the case, I may be interested in it. I will have a look at my msmts to confirm it would work on my C&C and be back in touch--unless it is already sold. Charlie Nelson Water Phantom 1995 C &C 36XL/kcb
