I have an ASYM I bought (used) last season and am finally thinking of flying it this weekend. I have sheets but need to add the tack line/gear. How long should I make the line? I was thinking 45'-50', is that too long? What size line is best, the sheets look like 3/8". Also, I need a turning block for the bow I know, and was thinking of using an aft. And lastly, I have not had the opportunity to take the mast down, so I was going to fly from the Jib Halyard (fly inside the forestay) and thoughts? The wind is predicted to be 5-10 kts, so this is fairly light and not tlikley to give major problems. I will take the mast down and add a spinnaker crane (I already have that) next spring.
