We bought an asymmetrical through Doyle Sails of Annapolis.  We bought  it=20

We got the .75 oz nylon material.  Doyle let us use 7 colors.  We  also got=20

sail forward, rig the blocks and sheets and haul it up  with the spinnaker=20
halyard.  When ready to deploy I pull up the sock.

The sail works well when there's at least 6 knots of wind, but we don't  lik=
