Yes for the asym unless you ran sheets and guys. That is the advantage of a sprit! Sym is just like a regular J/30 but no downhaul declutters the foredeck and makes gybes easier. No need to play with it when setting pole height.

ps - because the J/30 pole is oversized you need to disconnect it anyway to put on the other side of the headstay if doing an asym gybe.
