I had the same thing done for our old C&C 26 , by our Doyle loft in Cleveland. I just used the spin pole downhaul as a downhaul (it was a dip-jibe setup). I only used the sail twice, but the first time was critical, as it got us home when the engine failed and there was only a whisper of wind midway to the Lake Erie Islands. Since I'm also adding roller furling, I think I'll follow Thor's suggestion and get an ATN tacker and run a penant up from a block attached at the stem. I'm planning to try a regular chute before having one re-cut, just to see how it works.
Thanks.

That seems like what we figured out to do. I also have a roller fuler and we were thinking we will add a block with a spectra loop to the stem fitting and then run the spinnaker downhaul through the block and use it as the tack line for the asym. For different reason I am trying to stay away from something like the Tacker but without a nice fair spot to hook the block at the stem it may be the only option.
