The first time I did it was with whatever spare lines were sitting around. I eventually went out and bought a "Tacker" (http://www.atninc.com/atn-tacker-sailing-equipment.shtml) to make life easier. If you use your pole lift and downhaul on it you can move it up and down. I use long sheets and gybe by letting the sail go forward and around. If you run the halyard and tack line back to the cockpit you can drop it without going forward.

I'll give that a shot myself. How do you tack it? Adjustable? Rich Knowles Indigo.

I rigged it up as an asym and it worked so well I have been doing that ever since. Really the only time I use the pole now is DDW in light air.

It says to me that you are flying your symmetrical tacked down as an asymmetrical with no pole. ?? Rich Knowles Indigo.

I fly my chute as an asym way more often then I use the pole. With just me, the wife, and kid aboard it is less work and WAY easier to gybe.
