Hi, i installed an asym kit on my 33-2few years ago: big running asym, a selden bowsprit, facnor furler and yes, I installed the crane/bail on the mast. If you choose to go with a furler, you will need that clearance for the top swivel. It gets crowded up there with the jib furled. My boat is a 1987 with a mast made by Offshore, I ordered the spinnaker mast bail from them.
The furler is safe tu use singlehanded, but slow and expensive. A good sock would be my choice because it is faster for racing short handed. Love the bowsprit!

I also fly only Asyms. For the longer distance races I sail I wouldn’t go back to sym. Simple, fast and less crew needed. I don’t use a top down furler so can’t help you there. From those that I know that do, a sock has same reliability and a lot cheaper. If racing, check with you local rating officials to make sure you understand the adjustments that will be applied. Hope that helps.

I'm interested in any information from folks here that have done a similar conversion: positives, negatives, cautionary tales? One thing I'm concerned about is that my mast does not have a crane, the spinnaker halyards exit right next to the genoa halyard. If I add a top-down furler I'm nervous everthing is gonna get a bit congested. Have any of you added a masthead crane to move the halyards out a bit? Thanks in advance, Luke SV Zella C&C 35-3 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.
