So I've decided against the bowsprit/asym for now. Try as I might, it would've been too involved a project to get the aftermarket bowsprit to fit right, and I'm not convinced it even would then. I'm going to get a 155% genoa instead.

My plan was to fly it from the standard spinnaker sheave, yes. With the oversize asym (compared to J/30 standard size) my rating would've taken a hit in northern cali here, but as I don't even have a rating, I wasn't too worried about this. I configure Ananda entirely for pleasure sailing, any racing I do is just for fun.
