Hello, I have an asym spi left from the PO that I would like to setup. I've read through the DIY document on the photo album site and from this I assume that I will need to use it from an genoa halyard (both sheaves exit just slightly under the forestay). I've got a few questions left: The manual of the 30mk2 specifies 70' sheets for a symmetrical spi, should I go with the same length for an asym? What should be the length of the line pulling the tack (what is the name of that line?)?
I will use this sail only in light wind, what type of rope would you recommend for the sheets and tack line? I'd like to try a single braid for that purpose, anyone has experience with the Control DPX from Samson (in 5/16, $1.44/ft at APS, 2.9 lbs/100ft). The halyard is already in place. Also, am I correct that I will need to shackle a turning block on each of the aluminum piece at the end of the rail in order to lead the sheets fairly to the winch?
