Following this closely. Generally, the C 30 with it's smallish main covering the largish headsail doesn't go downwind fast.  Getting a sym spin out from behind the main greatly improves it's downwind speed.  I don't see where an Asym would improve that scenario much at all, especially without a

Randy, I added a Selden sprit to a dock neighbor's Peterson 37. In our region, he was able to add a certain length without penalty. We marked the maximum allowed extension. Your PHRF authority may be different. The racing success of the boat didn't change substantially. Have you strenuously

Randy, Most PHRF rating organizations will adjust (negatively) your rating for adding a tack point forward of the "J" measurement of the boat. You may receive a credit for both a retrofit application and due to a smaller sail area for a spinnaker - depends on the rating rules for your PHRF
