Here's how I rig it; There's a 5 ft length of line at the tack so I tie that off to the bow cleat, there's a single hank just up from the tack which I attach to the forestay. I raise the sail with the jib sheet, run the sheet to the side cam cleat or to the aft quarter cleat, attach the spinnaket pole to the mast and spike it at the spinnaker foot. Is this correct? I'm pretty sure it is a flat asymetrical spinnaker.
