I know you are considering Van isle, and I am considering joining you as crew. Any idea on the costs yet?

It depends on how long the sprit is. If the Asym is no larger in area than the symmetrical I don't think it impacts your rating. You are allowed a certain length of sprit without penalty; I can't remember how long though. If I recall, the downside is that PHRF does not allow you to carry both a sym and asym.

Do you think an Asym will be an advantage for the 360? My first reaction is that it wouldn't be, but I haven't sailed down the outside so I would be talking out my ass.
