That wouldn’t work for me, with my sail tacked to the genoa it would suck the spinnaker halyard around under the forestay.

The inside jibe is simple and things don't get tangled up as they tend to with the outside jibe. If you have an adjustable tack pull it in to establish a firm luff.. Head dead downwind while adjusting both spin sheets to bring the tack to the forestay. Continue to feed the tack through the space between the luff and forestay keeping very slight pressure on the old active sheet and rapidly pulling the sail through the slot with the new active sheet as the helm is brought through the jibe. As the spin fills release all pressure on the old active sheet. In doing this the sail and lines are always under control and not flying about and becoming tangled.

Attach it prior to the gybe (I'm thinking "inside" of pole). Gybe pole and pre-set it, then gybe sail. When done, remove temporary tack line. At least that's how I hope it will work. I've never done it but will find out this spring.

This year I plan to use an ATN Tacker for asymm jibes. Given that we use our spin pole for the tack most of the time, the interesting part will be moving the tack from the pole to the Tacker (then back to the pole again).

All the videos I have seen for this technique have the spinnaker tack on a sprit or attached forward of the headstay. That seems pretty simple, but I don’t have an attachment point there. My tack can either be attached directly to a padeye on the deck behind the forestay or to a strap around the furled headsail and then to the padeye. I think that means that every time I jibe, the tack line will wrap around the headstay. Is that a problem? I could douse with the sock and redeploy after jibe (sounds slow for racing) or add an attachment point to the pulpit for a block so I am forward of the headstay. Am I missing something? How do others without sprits do this?
