This is relevant to my interest as I have been investigating the M24 kite as an asym to fly from our pole.
A couple questions however:
Looking at the hoist (ISP) and JSP for the Melges 24, it seems that flying it from the pole about 3 feet off the deck would maintain the design shape of the spinnaker and get the most projection. Did you try this?
Does the 2.5 feet of tackline without a pole for projection not allow the luff to rotate too far to leeward and aft in AWA forward of the beam?
